Oscar and KG basically had the same type of career. It doesn't make sense for them to be 8 spots apart.

hakeem won 2 legit alpha rings while dominating the finals
averaging 27ppg in 1994
and 33ppg in 1995
wilt won 2 iffy rings while averaging
17ppg in the 1967 finals ( 9ppg less than teammate hal greer at 26ppg )
and 19ppg in the 1972 finals ( 7 less ppg than teammate gail goodrich at 26ppg )
wilts constant lesser play when it matters most while hakeem thrived is why hakeems 2 titles are much more valuable... especially the 1994 title in which hakeem had nobody
wilt basically has a couple of 2000 kobe bryant 21 year old rings... and unlike kobe he has no excuse
Re: my NEW OFFICIAL top 100 players of all time ( better than ESPN? )
What were the official ESPN rankings?
Anybody have their Top 15-20? :confusedshrug:

well when you play in an era where the celtics have 6-7 HOF'rs at a time hogging all the rings. guys like west/baylor/oscar get somewhat of a pass
KG on the other hand played in a much more even era and only managed a 3rd option ring
atleast oscars was 2nd option

And that's not even taking into account the defensive side of the court where he anchored one of the greatest defenses of all time.
He was easily a top 5 player, maybe top 3 player and an MVP candidate that season.

So are we discrediting all of Kobe's titles with Shaq then?
And just smh at this post. Deeming Wilt's '67 title as "iffy" and putting it on par with '00 Kobe is the epitome of stupidity. Wilt's '67 season is better than any of Kobe's, and is easily a top 5 single season of all time
Re: my NEW OFFICIAL top 100 players of all time ( better than ESPN? )
Lebron is a greater player than Hakeem.

And Kobe Bryant. Hakeem is top 10 or 11. His team was eliminated 8x in the first round of the playoffs.
