#5 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops

[Deuce Bigalow]

Kareem played in the 60's, and in fact played FOUR seasons IN the Wilt-era.

Give me some examples of this from Kareem...

Doesn't get it, even though he's 57 years old

Obviously my point flew over your head.

Great reply. As always...NO research involved.

Kareem STRUGGLED against the best centers of the 60's, and yet DESTROYED the best centers of the late 80's.

Kareem faced MANY of the SAME centers that Chamberlain did...and yet, LIGHT YEARS away from the carpet-bombing that a prime Chamberlain dropped on them.

Maybe you can explain it to me then...

I already replied to this many times but you still don get it. It's no use anymore. After all you're 57, and might even have Alzheimer's for all I know.

Well, if that is the case, I have forgotten FAR more than you have ever known...

Read the last few pages in this thread; read them again and again if you have to. Maybe then you'll understand Kareem going H2H w/ Wilt in the 70's is irrelevant here.

Walt Bellamy in his ROOKIE SEASON: 31.6 PPG, 19.0 RPG

Find me one season where Kareem did that?

Oh oops, Kareem never did that. Bellamy > Kareem.

Read the last page or two, perhaps a few more times if you need to. Maybe then you'll understand Kareem going H2H w/ Wilt in the 70's is irrelevant here.

Then Kareem retiring some 25 years ago should also have been irrelvant in voting. He played IN the Wilt-era, and was NOWHERE near the SCORER, SHOOTER, REBOUNDER, PASSER, or DEFENDER that Wilt was.

And in his PRIME, his TEAM's were huge UNDERACHIEVERS.

Had Chamberlain had TEN seasons with Magic, and I am convinced that Wilt would have had more rings in his career, too.

A PRIME Kareem faced a declining Bellamy in some 25 H2H starts...and his HIGH game was 40 points against him.

Chamberlain had two straight seasons, covering ten games each, in which he averaged 43.7 ppg and 52.7 ppg against Bellamy...including FOUR games of 60+, and a HIGH game of 73 points.

Hell, Wilt was STILL dumping 50 point games on Bellamy in his '66 season.

Here again, you're punching keys without reading posts.

You're right. I am wasting time responding to assinine posts.

Explain what Kareem Abdul Jabbar has ANYTHING to do with my posts. I'll wait.

The "Bridge" has a LOT to do with THIS comment...

They point out pace and rebounding opportunities in the 80's, yet totally ignore competition and rebounding opportunities in the 60's (look at the league average FG% lol).

Kareem played in BOTH "eras"...and the centers that he faced in the 60's, gave him FAR more trouble than the "greats" that he faced in the mid-to-late 80's gave him.

Guy, I was talking about rebounding opportunities; not who faced superior competition offensively (to even suggest Wilt went up against better players at his position is a joke).
