I Lost interest in the nba when it was obvious how the officials protect and coddle the stars. It’s bad in college but the pros are so much worse.
Bill Russell won 11 titles in 13 years and he doesn't make that list?1. Jordan
2. Kobe
3. LeBron
4. Kareem
5. Magic
Kobe Bryant lol. CuseRunners basketball takes a terrible too.

Yea which is pretty much zero contact.Fair. But at least they are far more consistent than college in the amount of contact they allow on perimeter ball handlers and on the block/charge call.

I think there needs to be a balance. When I played in high school you had to expect contact. It’s a contact sport.Which is much better, IMO. I’ve seen our guards get mugged more than enough times by Pitt, Marquette, Virginia Tech, etc. Hate that kind of ball.
Blows my mind when people make these lists and Wilt Chamberlain is not on them.
Averaged 30/23 for his career.
One year averaged 50/26.
Led the league in assists one year.
Averaged 46 min per game in his career.
One year averaged 48.5 min per game (that's not a typo).
Never fouled out of a game.
They didn't keep blocked shot stats back then but his would have been off the charts.

It seems to me like Wilt and Dr. J are the guys whose status has fallen in these types of lists/discussions over the years and I’m not sure why.
I'd say more Oscar Robertson than Dr. J, at least in the last five years or so of these lists. I haven't really noticed Dr. J near the top 10 in a long time.
Simmons book debunked this. When Wilt got 5 fouls he would play differently because he was mindful of That record of not fouling out.Never fouled out of a game. As a center. That completely blows my mind.
I mean I would have wilt at 6 I think his off the court shenanigans it held against him by some people.Agree Oscar has slipped recently. And yeah, I was talking about a long time ago as far as Wilt and Dr. J.
Seems like there were way more “Wilt is the best ever” lines of thinking back some years, and Dr. J was way up there too.

Dr. J is definitely a Top 20 player of all-time. I would probably put him somewhere in the 10-15 range with guys like Olajuwon, Oscar and Moses Malone.
Not that FTs are Jordan's fault, but I wonder what a 70% ft Wilt would have averaged? Also, how many 3s a game int there for Jordan. Wilt led league in scoring (numerous) rebounding (which is all Russell really worried about) and assists. No other center ever led the league in assists.People can have LeBron at 2, that’s fine. I’ve got him top 5, somewhere 3-5. MJ and Kareem are my top 2. Jordan is without question number 1. Here’s a fun stat- wilt averaged 30+ points 7 times. Jordan did it 8!

Russell mind gamed Wilt. Wilt didn’t want to foul out.

They have not to the extent of wilt though lol.Off the court shenanigans? lmao Like these other players didn't do the same?

Please, please...let us not argue. Are we not all Wilt's children?They have not to the extent of wilt though lol.
