No wonder why the TS% didn't make sense for me at first. Thanks

You still need some context on those numbers, though. Wilt's .559 Finals eFG% in his six Finals came in post-season NBA's that had an eFG%, on average, of about .440 (and as low as .420.) And, you can't use "pace" against him either, since he only played in one Final in his "scoring prime", and even in that one, he only averaged 24 FGAs per game (scoring 29.2 ppg...in a post-season NBA that only averaged 105.8 ppg and on an eFG% of .420.)

Also, you need to point out that Chamberlain, on average, in those six Finals, held his opposing starting centers (all in the HOF) to a collective eFG% of about .435. So Wilt was outshooting his opposing centers from the field by an average margin of about 12.5%. And before you bring up FT%...Wilt outscored his opposing centers from the line, in EVERY Finals he played in.

Oh, and how about Chamberlain's rebound MARGINS? Wilt was not only never outrebounded in any of his six Finals (or any of his 29 post-season series either), he outrebounded his peers, on average, by about a 25-17 margin....or EIGHT rpg.
