He lost the game.
Summed up Wilt's career perfectly

Re: Special fact about Wilt's historic 55 rebound performance
So if Whiteside had 40 rebounds against Davis, and the Heat lost, you guys would be accusing him of stat padding, right?

TBH though, does that Wilt game exist on tape anywhere? I'd love to know how that went down. I'm going to guess that Russell couldn't handle Wilt when he was really on his game. Nobody could.

When MJ had his high point playoff game, of 63 points,...HE lost the game. In fact, HE was SWEPT in that series.
Nothing but a "stat-padding" "choker."

BTW, guess who Wilt's opposing center was in that 55 rebound game?
None other than Bill Russell, whom Wilt outrebounded by a 55-19 margin.

No stat padding going on by Wilt as it was only a three point victory for the Celtics (132-129). They actually had to rally from behind to win.

Then why do Jordan's playoff, and especially Finals numbers blow LeBron's away?

No great wing rivals in his era, meaning he can conserve energy from not playing defense.
Guarded by 6'3 players half the time (Gary Payton)
And fast paced era with no zone defense, and a lot of iso 1-on1 coverage
Taking all of these things into account, i'm actually disappointed in Jordan's stats tbh

Pippen and Jackson let Jordan get his padded stats, they had to sacrifice to get a title. Jordan rode Pippens intangibles to 6 titles it was Pippens intangibles that really anchored those teams, he was the best player in the Bulls Dynasty.
55 wins and only lost a rigged playoff game the season MJ left. Meanwhile, MJ without pippen never made it out of the 1st round.

Pippen on that Kawhi level of finals performances.
Lebron on that Kobe level.
