A bold take that will see you eating a lot of downvotes. I see where you're coming from. He's probably the most overrated player of the consensus top 10 guys, but it's also hard to evaluate him outside the context of his era. The game was almost a different sport at the time.

That's all very true and fair.

Yep, my personal top 10 lists never include Wilt and Bill. Not because I don’t think they’re great, but because they played in an era that’s legitimately impossible to rank.
