Wade among the all time greats

[Bankaii]

Lebron averaged over 35 ppg in the 2009 playoffs.
Wilt needed 27-29 FGA just get in that range.

Hell even in the OP he's byfar leading in FGA and not in PPG.
Dude took 7 more FGA to only average 6.5 more points than Wade.

Wilt averaging more Rebounds than Wade did points is just as hilarious.

Literally no one outside of Wilt stans take box score stats from that era seriously. Dogshit defenses, absurd pace, substantially inferior level of competition, huge minute inflation. 29 ppt in the finals in the early 60s is nowhere near as impressive as what Shaq, MJ, Lebron were doing in the 90s-present, and it's not even close really. Andre Drummond could probably put up those numbers in the finals back then.

I also think it's hilarious how even in his supposed "scoring period", his scoring still dropped a ton every stage from RS>PS>Finals

As one other poster pointed out, look at the FGA's. Dude took 7 more shots and 3 more FT's to score just 6 points more than Wade. 8 more shots than Shaq to score 6 more points. 5 more shots than LeBron to score 3 more points.

MJ actually took 2 fewer shots and a FT to score 2 points MORE than Chokerlain. "GOAT scorer" doe.

Wade stans like to attack all-time greats to compensate for their inferiority complex.

Why are we picking an arbitrary number of years? We already know what Wilt's career averages are? 22ppg in the playoffs

That's ridiculous. I van say that Wade wasn't the dedicated scorer for any playoff run except 2006-2010 and he barely played in 2007-2009. So it's 2 seasons.

He still has more playoff points than Wilt and is a better playoff scorer and finals scorer than Wilt
Wilt might be the only player who needs stans to set arbitrary cutoff points to make him look less horrific than he is

You have to understand that with Wilt fans, everything is circumstantial and in the end, not his fault.

We could do this dividing into categories for any player to excuse the dip in production. Like Duncan being a defensive anchor later in his career but no one does that. Only Wilt fans are so inventive with ways to deflect from reality.
