Replace Shaq with Wilt on the 96 lakers

[jongib369]

Shaq was 24 at the time so it would be Wilts 2nd Season...What's the eventual outcome? This is all a big what if but would it be a better "1 - 2 punch" Than Shaq/Kobe? More Rings or less? How would Wilt/Kobe's game work together?

Wilt 1962 - 42 points 24 rebounds 1 assist on .739 shooting percentage!

This is the type of stuff you will never know or even be able to estimate.

Wilt just played in a completely different era.

Why you keep posting same YouTube links in every thread? It gets annoying when I opened one that I've watched like ten times

Less. I think Wilt would have clashed more with Kobe. Wilt was truly arrogant. I believe Shaq just felt the big man should get touches in the triangle.

If Del Harris asked Wilt to be the number 1 option he could probably put up about 30ppg 16-18rpg 3-4 apg 4-5 bpg. He'd also be the defensive player of the year. Stockton and Malone were on a roll that season, so I'm not sure if this laker team could beat them. Than again Wilt was hard to defend. Extremely skilled and athletic. He could virtually score at will. He was also a defensive juggernaut.

You're replacing Shaq with Poor Man's Javale Mcgee at best..

I think 5 feet weak nonathletic center were already phase out during that time.. So theres no more players for Wilt to dominate..

Wilt defensive Player of the year?

In a league with Hakeem , Mutumbo, Robinson , Zo and Rodman?

Not to many great Wilt highlights out there...I post them as references not as anything new

That's pretty good competition, that's why his numbers would be about 30ppg 16-18 rpg 3-4 apg 4-5 bpg. Weaker competition and his numbers would be higher.

and you think he couldn't possible be a better defender than Hakeem, mutumbo or Robinson?


:bang head:

(mostly just playing these are all what ifs...but anyone who can hold Kareem to the type of FG% he did can easily be considered possibly better defenders than they were...not to knock Hakeem, but although hey may not of been the defender he eventually became...Im sure it wouldn't of made all the difference in the world when an old kareem was able to light him up with an excellent fg%)

Yeah but the only thing about that is he would be facing these centers WAAAAY less often then he did his HOF competition in his day....What HOFer did Shaq, Robinson or Ewing face 143 times? Ewing and Robinson went at it less than 30 or possibly 20 times....

I've seen A LOT of Wilt footage, but those are just the highlights that I think showcase him the best...I could have posted the defense video I made also but I didn't...Idk if you were dissing me or what lmao

They might win in the 90s with Jones, Van Exel and Bryant, but I think they'd split up earlier, since Kobe's drive to be the man what be more oppressed by Wilt.
