    Oh, and give us the number of games against each, as well.

    Back to Feeney's Curry...

    the man is not even 29 yet. Played on three straight losing teams, and didn't start winning until he had Klay. Didn't start winning 60+ games until he had the most stacked roster in the league. A roster that just annihilated a team that went to the WCF's last year... 5-0, and by unfathomable margins....all withOUT Glass Ankle Curry.

    Curry had a great season this year...albeit, with a roster that would have easily won 60+ games without him.

    But how about some of Wilt's seasons before age 30...

    33-25-5 on a .540 eFG% in a league that shot an eFG% of .433. Followed that up with a playoff run of 28-30-3 .509.

    50-26 .506, in a league that shot .426. Took a roster, the core of which was the same last place roster he inherited two years earlier, to a game seven, two point loss, against a HOF-laden 60-20 Celtics team...in a series in which he averaged 34-27.

    24-24-8 .683 (in a league that shot .441), and followed that up with a playoff run of 22-29-9 .579, which included slaughtering two of the GOAT centers in NBA history.

    Why don't you guys take it easy.
    In 96?

    He was 32 in November, December, January and half of February.

    That's 3.5 months.

    He was 33 for half of February, March, April, May and half of June.

    That's 4 months.

    Why wouldn't he be considered 33 for the 96 season? Especially considering he finished the season at that age. He played more at that age then when he started the season at 32.

    I'm not arguing. Educating your misinformation.

    He had stretches of brilliance, but not so much over the course of 30 games.

    Now, a peak KAJ, circa '70 thru '72...MONSTER runs. Of course, even those were dwarfed by a peak Chamberlain.

    If we were to include postseasons, you could take the last 8 games of the regular season and then put in Olajuwon's 22 postseason games.

    Wow.

    SI did a cover story on him during this season, which turned out to be the last season of his prime as his body basically fall apart after it.

    A good read.
