For example I looked up Kenyon Martin today. I remember him being an all-star so I figured he must have had multiple 20/10 seasons. Turns out he never averaged more than 17 ppg and only got 10 rpg one season.

Muggsy Bogues surprised me positively. I thought he was just a role player like Early Boykins. Turns out he had several seasons averaging over 8 apg and a couple seasons averaging over 10 apg.

Jason Kidd finishing 3rd all time in three point makes when he retired, 60% of Wilts shots were fadeaway jump shots

Which is why wilt > shaq imo

That’s a horrible take. Wilt did that mostly against garbage competition. Shaq is the most dominant force to ever step on a court. Won twice as many titles as wilt in arguably the toughest era.

Wilt beat Prime Kareem. he was a much more skillful scorer than Shaq and a better playmaker as well, his sixers team broke the record for wins in a regular season. he was constantly facing a Celtics team that had multiple HOFs.

Gobert would be like the 5th best defender if he played in the 60s/70s. plus his deficiencies in the post would be enhanced in a league where post-play was so important.

Biggest nephew award goes to ^^

Wilt only won 2 titles in the most garbage era. Cry about it. Rudy Gobert would look like bill Russell in the 60s.

You’ve once again outdone yourself with the nephew takes. I’m not even gonna bother responding seriously because you HAVE to be trolling at this point lol

Because there’s no way you can argue that that wasn’t the least competitive era without looking stupid.
