2 alpha rings + 0 sidekick ring VS 1 alpha ring + 5 sidekick rings

[Kiddlovesnets]

It's Wilt vs Kareem. The former is only 2-4 in NBA finals, about as good as Lebron James, but he won both titles as the team's No.1 man. The latter has 6 rings in total, and a 6-4 record in NBA finals, but was only 1 alpha ring with the other five being Magic's sidekick. Whom do you think is the No.1 center in NBA history then? How much value will you place on sidekick rings?

[Myth]

Kareem only has 1 alpha ring?

He has at least 2.

[Carbine]

He has 2 for sure.

Another one where he was at least the co best player.

[HurricaneKid]

In a season which he was the NBA MVP he went 33.4/13.6 with 4.6Bl on 55% FG. That is NOT a sidekick ring.

Nor is going for 26/9 on >60% FG in winning the FMVP.

Nor is leading the MILWAUKEE BUCKS to the title.

ISH keeps getting worse and worse.

KAJ has 2 FMVP and very easily could've been the FMVP in 1980, but Magic's legendary game 6 got him the nod.

And Wilt won the FMVP in 1972 but you can argue that West was their best player over the entire season.

kareem was the legit lead dog for 3 of his 6


magic owes him the 1980 fmvp

No disrespect to Magic. He probably should have Worthy's FMVP.

wilts rings sucked



1967 Wilt Chamberlain = 17.7 finals PPG

his team mate Hal Greer = 26.0 finals PPG







1972 wilt won FMVP... but:

1st option Gail Goodrich = 25.6 finals PPG

2nd option Jerry West = 19.8 finals PPG

3rd option Wilt Chamberlain = 19.4 finals PPG

ALPHA RINGS

[SouBeachTalents]

Kareem has at least 2 alpha rings, not sure how anyone in their right mind could say he wasn't the best player on the '80 Lakers. Their next two titles are extremely close as well, although I'd prob give the nod to Magic

[superteamtheory]

For me,

when Kareem himself says Wilt was better than him... and this is just the impression he got playing an old Wilt as in he can't imagine what it would have been like to go up against this guy in his youth...

[superteamtheory]

1972 wilt won FMVP... but:

1st option Gail Goodrich = 25.6 finals PPG

2nd option Jerry West = 19.8 finals PPG

3rd option Wilt Chamberlain = 19.4 finals PPG

hence the stupidity of measuring everything greatness related by scoring...

WTF.
Kareem has 6 alpha rings.
Magic was Robin and Kareem was Batman.

[MJistheGOAT]

LOL at Kareem having 1 alpha ring.

He has AT LEAST 2, I give him 3.

Wilt and Kareem are top 3 GOAT.
