There is a gigantic * missing.... WILT

Edit: Obviously they have the graphic saying "since the merger".. but who the hell cares about since/before the merger? Don't cherry-pick stats... just bad habits for everyone else to pick up.

Wilts entire statline is an * in itself because his competition was as tall as his legs.

No one cares about Wilt

Oh right, I forgot. My bad.

Players that guard Durant aren't as "long" as he is. I only care about AIs scoring because he had no undue advantages. Wait, what? You say he was quicker than everyone else? OK, fine. Show me Redick's scoring. Not him either?! He's too good a shooter?! Um... show me Mark Madsen's scoring feats...?

6 games, needs 2 more 45+ games to break the record. @ Philly and @ Miami incoming.

This is the most impressive part, Durant has 4 45+ games this month while only averaging 23.2 FGA for the month.

Kobe averaged 29.8 FGA in 06-07 when he hit 5 and 29.6 FGA in 05-06
Dominique averaged 29.1 FGA in 87-88 when he hit 4
Jordan averaged 29.4 and 25.4 FGA for his 2 months in 86-87

scoring in blowouts and counting his own points and rebounds win or lose.
wilt would get smashed by today's media.
also putting up records with noone able to record it or most of the world not knowing about the existence of the sport.


yea all his stats deserve a *
just look at lebron. wilt would get killed by today's social media with the chocking he did.

[Rake2204]

I am wondering why ESPN has used the ABA/NBA merger as a starting point in this instance. I am not thinking it's merely due to the addition of four NBA franchises, or else they could just as well use 1990 (after the Heat, Timberwolves, Magic, and Hornets were added). Is it due to the insinuation that the merger resulted in all talent coming to one league? If so, couldn't they use statistics prior to 1968?

Perhaps ESPN should limit these types of statistics to "Since modern expansion" to account for the watering down of the league's talent with the addition of six more clubs between 1988 and 1995.

I suppose the statisticians had to put their flag down somewhere though.

I don't care about how the media views a player. Why should anyone care about that?

Whatever. /Wiltbeingcontinuallyoverlookedmeltdown
