[QUOTE=Deuce Bigalow]In Wilt's 100 point game, a 6'6" center was guarding him.
That is like Kobe guarding Shaq in the post. It's a joke of an era. 6'6" - 6'8" centers :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
It's not so much the size of Wilt's opponents it was during a time when cherry picking and standing under the basket was ok.
Basketball in it's infancy.

[QUOTE=9erempiree]in "modern" basketball. [b]When all rules are finalized.[/b] I know most people want to say that Wilt's 100 is a record but not in Modern basketball.
When Wilt supposedly scored this many points it was a time when basketball was in it's infancy. Over the course of decades the game has been tweaked and rules have been implemented to create fair play.
Since 1978 and beyond is when the game of basketball was very similar to what it is today. The rules of past is no good in today's league. Therefore, many have accepted 81 points as the official scoring record in "modern" basketball.[/QUOTE]
Stopped reading after reading that bolded part. "all rules ... finalized."

1979-80 was the start of the "modern era".
Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
Lin would easily hit 100 if he played a full 48 minute game like Kobe or Wilt. What they did is not impressive, really. They also relied on their athleticism and were way too arrogant to be considered "good" in terms of record-breaking achievements.
Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
OMG!!!! OP you are a genius! I always thought 81 points was a common thing. :eek:
Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
Just picture Kobe playing against centers who were raja bell's size, he'd obliterate Wilt's 100.
Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
I don't know. As fast as the game was back than it's still impressive a Center getting 100 points without shooting threes and being a bad free throw shooter.

No, not a sin. You just stated your true opinion in a thread full of sarcasm and trolling. If you want to defend Wilt and have a quality discussion, I suggest starting a new thread about it. :banana:
Re: Fans are starting to realize 81 points is a record...
The arguemant can go either way really, You can say Wilt was too big a dude for the Centers and a faster pace game, But you can say Kobe dropped those points knocking down 3's against a weak team. And I'm a Kobe fan and Wilt fan even though I never watched him play BTW.

Lisa Leslie scored 100 points in a half in "modern" Basketball... G.O.A.T.

[B]Is It Also a Joke that a 6`4 3/4 Overweight and 33-36 Year Old Man Outplayed a Young Athletic Peek Duncan in The Late 90s?
Height is Not Everything :no:
