Wilt Chamberlian vs. Kobe Bryant

[RRR3]

Meh, give me Kobe.

Wtf

[jlauber]

OP, put the playoffs and NBA Finals stats too.

A PRIME Chamberlain destroys Kobe in these categories, as well. Same in BIG GAMES.

PACE PACE PACE!!!

BTW Kobe 5 rings, Wilt 2 rings

[SuperPippen]

I respect Wilt and his dominance and all of his accolades and records and everything. I really do. He's a legend.


But, I guess I just respect Kobe a little bit more.

[jacobgoindum]

great argument

[jacobgoindum]

Just off the top of my head...Swede Habrook was 7-3. Mel Counts, Hank Finkle, Walter Dukes, Tom Boerwinkle were all 7-0. 7-2 Kareem played in 1969.

Boerwinkle, Luke Jackson, Wayne Embry were all over 250 lbs.

BTW, players were measured in barefeet in the 60's and 70's. So the MANY of them that were 6-11 (Bellamy and Thurmond among them) would have been measured, and listed, at over 7-0 in TODAY's NBA.

BTW, Kareem faced many of the same centers that a PRIME Chamberlain did, and never came CLOSE to matching a prime Chamberlain's domination of those same players.

they all sucked, great opposition...

Wilt

100 > 81

[jacobgoindum]

Don't get too excited about his rebounding
Wilt's Rebounding % from '71-'73 was 19.4
Dwight Howard averages a 21.0 rebounding % in his career

andrew bynum > wilt

[jacobgoindum]

Wilt

100 > 81

again...PACE

100vs81

Wilt - 100/169 team points = 59.2% of team points scored
Kobe - 81/122 team points = 66.4% of team points scored

Putting wilt below Kobe is direspecting wilt. Period. And Kobe is a top 8-12 player ever. But wilt is easily top 5 top 3 IMO and one of the few with a case for goat. He proved e could change his game
Too he became more like Russell later in his career and won by being a team player. And of course he could be insanely dominant individually.

he got outringed by 9 by his rival Russell
MJ, Russell, Kareem,and Magic have a case for GOAT

I agree with most of what you said, except he has no case for GOAT to me.

He outplayed Russell quite often. Team game don't give me that craap. It's not like wilt wasn't a winner either he proved he was later in his career when he became a team player

Bollocks. Wilt is incredibly underrated these days. We can thank idiots like skip bayless for that.
