“Other than strength, what does wilt have? Explain why his team was better with him off the court? You're so delusional your messing up the brilliant basketball mind you have. Do better fellow laker. Its a hot topic for sure. My issue with that era is that they only had one maybe two guys who could actually play smart basketball. Could Wilt have developed a jump shot or ball-handling moves? I don't know but I don't go on possibilities. Of course its not their fault. It's what happened at the end of the day. Wilt would be a Clint Capela of today's NBA. He had no shot, no pass. His teams were better with him off the court. The top 50 got to be guys who made their teams better. Its very hard to put a guy who played in a very lackluster era in any top 10 20 or 30. In my opinion, he falls just at 51 behind Harden CP3. "I think Wilt lack the gene of winning. 1968 ecf g7 taking only 2 shots on the last half of game facing bill and choke back to back in 69 G7 in finals , I know coach do not let him leave but look at west with a messed up hamstring still playing wilt should not even ask to leave at first place.I think he is simply overrated and at the end of the day he is a team poison in GS and 76ers.

Yeah. This is what a casual, named BrunsonGlazer, formerly LukaGlazer, has said.
I gave you a chance. You refused it.
This will lead to your slow, but sure, death from basketball legitimacy and veracity.
You came for the king without a plan, and this will result in your death.
Time to carry out the execution.
So, you have him at 51. The dude who has 72 NBA records, a 50 ppg season, 4 MVPs (and should’ve been a bunch more) 2 championships, and an unparalleled amount of dominance around his era behind 2 dudes who can’t win a single championship. What the hell?
Okay, okay. But… you talk about some modern-day Clint Capela. WHAT? YOU’RE A F*CKING DISGRACE TO THE GAME ITSELF, GET OFF HOLY F*CK YOU’RE TERRIBLE. Clint Capela’s absolute career-high for assists in a single season is 115. In the 1967-1968 season, Wilt Chamberlain decided he was tired of the media calling him a selfish scorer, so he operated from the high post and led the entire NBA in total assists with 702. He averaged 8.6 assists per game as a center. He beat out Hall of Fame point guards like Oscar Robertson and Lenny Wilkens. You do not lead the professional basketball world in assists if you have "no pass." As for his shot? Wilt’s primary half-court weapon wasn't a dunk; it was the "Dipper Drop"—a turnaround, high-arcing fadeaway from the post, paired with a finger roll that required elite touch. Clint Capela takes 99% of his shots within three feet of the rim. Wilt Chamberlain was taking 15-foot turnaround fadeaways over Bill Russell. To compare the most physically dominant force in human history to a modern-day lob threat is an insult to the sport itself. 0 BALL KNOWLEDGE! HE WAS A MILLION TIMES MORE DOMINANT THAN CLINT CAPELA! HOLY TIKTOK CASUAL BRO! IDIOT, YOU F*CKING SUCK AT LIFE
Now, let’s obliterate this fraudulent, out-of-context analytics garbage that "his teams were better without him." You say the top 50 have to be guys who made their teams better? Okay, YOU WANNA SEE IMPACT? WILT CHAMBERLAIN GOT THOSE WARRIORS TO 48 WINS IN 63-64, WHEN HE LEFT? 17 WINS!!!! WHEN WILT WENT TO THE SIXERS (34-48)? 68-13, set the record for the highest-scoring offense in league history, shattered the Celtics' eight-year championship dynasty, and won the title. AFTER HE LEFT? Just a few years later, they ended up w/ 9 wins in a year. In 1971-1972, Wilt went to the Lakers and was asked to sacrifice his scoring entirely to be a defensive anchor and rebounder. The result? The Lakers went on a 33-game winning streak—a record that still stands today—won 69 games, and won the NBA Championship, with Wilt taking home Finals MVP. They won 60 games the next year, and Wilt retired. From there, where did the Lakers go? 47-35, much more mediocre. That’s a sudden 13-game difference, when HE WASN’T EVEN IN HIS PRIME!!! HE WAS THE BEST PLAYER ON THE GREATEST TEAMS TO EVER LIVE!!!! YOU DON’T DO THAT W/OUT INFLUENCE. DID AD, Nash, Clyde, Ewing, Gervin, Pooping peirce, irving, Mchale, Carter, Mcgrady, Elgin, Scottie, IT (Pistons), CP3, J kidd, Harden, westbrick, KARL MALONE, STOCKTON, THE ADMIRAL, WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP AS THE BEST PLAYER ON THEIR TEAMS BY FAR??? HELL NO!!! YOU MAKE NO SENSE, GET OFFA HERE CASUAL!
THERE’S A REASON WHY THE HELL HE HAD TO PLAY 49 MINUTES A GAME- THE TEAM F*CKING SUCKED WITHOUT HIM. PAUL ARIZIN RETIRED SO EARLY AND SHOT 41% from the field. TOM GOLA? 13 on 40%. Rookie NATE THURMOND??? GUY RODGERS????? GET OUTTA HERE! ON THE SIXERS? -Chet Walker, Billy Cunningham, Hal Greer- all 2nd options who couldn’t do sh!t. You want evidence? Let’s look at the infamous 1968 Eastern Finals Game 7, the game where idiots love to point out that Wilt only took 9 shots. Wilt recognized the Celtics were triple-teaming him every time he touched the ball, so he made the correct basketball play: he passed to his wide-open teammates. He still grabbed 34 rebounds and anchored the defense. How did his teammates reward his elite playmaking? Hal Greer went 8-for-25. Wali Jones went 8-for-22. Chet Walker went 8-for-22. His three primary perimeter options shot a combined 24-for-69 (34%) while completely uncovered. And these absolute casuals have the audacity to blame Wilt Chamberlain for the fact that his professional basketball teammates couldn't hit an open jumper to save their lives.
Remember how LeBron got swept against the Spurs and Warriors those 2 years? Now imagine that 10 times for those Celtics squads. Wilt carried those teams to game 7s, barely losing. He woulda won against them Celtics in the 4th quarter in '69 too, but the damn coach kept him out. Also, his 55 rebound game? Against the CELTICS! His game 7 performance vs them C's? 39, 30, and 12 blocks! He wasn't the reason why they lost, it was his teammates. When HONDO STOLE THE BALL? thanks to his teammate.
Next, on the fake fact that Wilt was a choker- no he wasn’t. His efficiency stayed the same and his other stats went up. OFC you ain't gonna score 50 a game in the playoffs, but he was still putting up 38. Game 5 of the 1962 Eastern Division Semifinals against the Syracuse Nationals, where he recorded 56 points and 35 rebounds. 1960 Eastern Division Finals (Game 5): 50 points, 35 rebounds. 1964 NBA Finals (Game 7): 39 points, 30 rebounds, and 12 blocks (unofficial). 1967 Eastern Division Finals (Game 3): 20 points, 41 rebounds, and 9 assists. 1964 NBA Finals: 29.2 points and 27.6 rebounds per game over the series loss He holds the record for the most points in a Finals elimination game with 45. He is the only player to score 50+ points in a playoff elimination game multiple times (both were wins). In his playoff career, he averaged 31.1 points and 25.7 rebounds in elimination games. . He is the only player to average a 20/20/60 (points/rebounds/FG%) in Finals elimination games. HE HAD 5 GAME 7s AGAINST PALPATINE’S DYNASTY WITH WALMART TEAMMATES!
Next, you wanna talk about sum “stupid basketball” players. Um, have you heard of a thing called “EVOLUTION?” It’s called something in history class. Ofc the game evolved. Don’t you dare say that the 60s were “trash” either. Big O, Jerry West and Baylor (not until end of career), Russell, Havlicek, Cousy, Jones, Heinsohn, Jerry Lucas, Thurmond, Goodrich, Wayne Embry, Pettit, Howell, Bellamy, Haywood, Guerin, KC Jones, Hawkins, Mel Daniels, Cousy, and SO MANY OTHERS. M The dudes averaged better stats than some dudes TODAY! Since I know your retarded, single-minded braincell can’t comprehend this, lemme continue further- GUS JOHNSON, LOU HUDSON, ZELMO BEATY, SATCH SANDERS, DON NELSON, JACK TWYMAN, ELVIN HAYES, RICK BARRY, LENNY WILKENS, EARL MONROE, DAVE BING, DAVE DEBUSSCHERE! HOLY SH!T SHUT UP KID, YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE LEAGUE.
Oh yeah, about you "I think Wilt lack the gene of winning. 1968 ecf g7 taking only 2 shots on the last half of game facing bill and choke back to back in 69 G7 in finals , I know coach do not let him leave but look at west with a messed up hamstring still playing wilt should not even ask to leave at first place.I think he is simply overrated and at the end of the day he is a team poison in GS and 76ers. I think I punish wilt because if he ever train 80% as hard as Kobe did he is like GOAT but he waste his talents and I tend to reward players with good professionalism and treat the game as a vocation not as a mere job". How about this- outside the court doesn’t matter. You’re just a crazy woke leftist if you believe that. WILT LITERALLY PLAYED THROUGH A TORN PATELLA TENDON THAT MAY HAVE LED TO HIS RETIREMENT, PLAYED THROUGH A BROKEN HAND TO WIN FMVP, SPRAINED HIS WRIST, INJURED HIS HAMMY, AND STILL PLAYED THROUGH- ALL 48 MINUTES! TO SAY WILT WAS SOFT IS SO DAMN STUPID.
IDC IF HE ATE BABIES- THE BROTHER WON THEM GAMES AND THE TEAMS WERE TRASH AS LITERAL SH!T WITHOUT HIM. HE ELEVATED PEOPLE TO GET HIGH ASSIST NUMBERS AND TO GET BETTER RECOGNITION AS A RESULT. OTHERWISE, THEY WERE NOBODIES!
Rings? Wilt may have only won 2 rings, but was in 5 game 7s against the Celtics losing them by a total of 9 points. You know how close that is? With nobodies too.
And then you have the audacity to claim Wilt was “selfish”. HELL NO! You needed him to score? He did so much of that. Be a playmaker? Done, led the league in assists. Be a "system" center? HE DID THAT! He may have averaged a modest amount, but that was casually on 75 PERCENT, got 19 BOARDS, manned the middle better than anyone, and playmade and controlled the entire offense with an iron fist- coming off a torn patella injury too.
This is the stupidest argument too, but about professionalism and discipline? HOW DO YOU THINK HE BENCHED 500 AND MAINTAINED THAT INCREDULOUS SHAPE?
The truth is illustrated w/ one quote, “The difference between you and me is that they had to change the rules so I couldn't dominate. They changed the rules for you so that you could dominate.” THEY HAD TO CHANGE 5 DAMN RULES JUST TO STOP THE FREAK FROM KILLING EVERYONE: Offensive Goaltending, Defensive Goaltending, Size of the lane/paint, Free throw shooting, AND Inbounding the Ball!
LISTEN UP BRUNSONGLAZER, YOU ABSOLUTE PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING, YOUR BASKETBALL "TAKES" ARE A STAIN ON THE FABRIC OF THE SPORT AND PROVE THAT YOUR BRAIN IS NOTHING BUT A HOLLOW VOID OF TIKTOK BRAIN-ROT AND HISTORICAL ILLITERACY. CALLING YOURSELF AN NBA FAN WHILE DISRESPECTING THE FOUNDATION OF BASKETBALL THAT MAKES EVERY REAL FAN WANT TO VOMIT; YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE JERSEYS, A DISGRACE TO THE TEAMS, AND A DISGRACE TO ANYONE WHO HAS EVER PICKED UP A BALL. COMPARING THE GREATEST STATISTICAL FORCE IN HUMAN HISTORY TO A MODERN-DAY BUM ISN'T JUST STUPID, IT’S MENTALLY DEPRAVED, PROVING YOU HAVE THE BALL KNOWLEDGE OF A CONCESSION STAND NAPKIN AND THE IQ OF A DEFECTIVE BRICK.
I TOLD YOU TO NOT MESS WITH THE KING. YOU DID, AND YOU PAID AN UNIMAGINABLE PRICE- YOUR DIGNITY AND YOUR LIFE.
YOU ARE A CLOWN, A COURT JESTER, AND A TRASH-TIER CASUAL WHO DESERVES TO BE SHAMED INTO PERPETUAL SILENCE FOR POLLUTING THE INTERNET WITH YOUR DISGUSTING, BASEMENT-DWELLING OPINIONS. GET THE F*CK OFF THE BOARDS, DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT, AND NEVER UTTER THE NAME OF A LEGEND AGAIN!
