Wilt is def a weird one, I think for sure early in his career he was heavily stat focused at the expense of winning.  (though maybe thats a little harsh, they weren't bad, and they usually lost to the Celtics, which, no shame in that).  And even later in the career you read the stories about how he was fixated on leading the league in assists, which kind of makes you think he got the right answer but for the wrong reason.  But from like 67 on his teams were awesome and he was much more of a team player.  And then you read the stuff about how he never fouled out of a game and he was kinda focused on protecting that record, and again, it makes you think he wasn't always focused purely on winning.  But also, he was so dominant and his teams were usually very good at worst and he did win 2 titles and came close to others.  So I dunno.

I may as well do a top 20.  This will probably be an awful list, but whatever
1) Lebron
2) Jordan
3) Kareem
4) Duncan
5) Magic
6) Steph
7) Russell
8) Shaq
9) Bird
10) Hakeem
11) Durant
12) Wilt
13) Kobe
14) West
15) Giannis
16) KG
17) Oscar
18) Malone
19) Robinson
20) West

Like I said, I'm sure this list sucks.  (making one is harder than criticizing one!  Just stuck Giannis in the back half of the second 10, but that might be an insult to him.  I feel like the top 3 is a class by itself, I struggled deciding on 4.  I also wanted to put Hakeem > Shaq but couldn't pull the trigger.
