Wilt was a chump, you know I look pretty good when playing against middle schoolers. That's equivalent to 7'1" Wilt playing a league of on average 5'10 white guys for whom basketball was their part time job/hobby.
Wilt never had to match up with a giant freak of nature like Yao Ming.

Skills are great, but the fact is he wasn't as good as Wilt, Shaq or Kareem.
Mike Conley might be one of the most well rounded and skilled point guards I've seen in a while, but he simply doesn't excel as a whole to be worth mentioning as a top player.

Playoff Rondo
Re: Joel Embiid with the Dream Shake
Dude is going to be scary good if he can continue developing and rounding out his game while avoiding injury. He's already got post moves in his arsenal that most big guys in today's league can't even do.

Re: Joel Embiid with the Dream Shake
He seems like a Patrick Ewing with a advanced moveset.
Will prob avg 25 pts if he stay healthy and play regular minutes.

We have no proof that Wilt was better.
Your Mike Conley analogy is pretty bad because he inviolate isn't on that level. A better example would be me choosing CP3(Hakeem) over Curry(Wilt) even though Curry maybe more dominant.

How exactly do we have no proof Wilt was better than Hakeem? He clearly was.

What were their pace-adjusted playoff and final stats?

NBA Superstar
Re: Joel Embiid with the Dream Shake
Embiid already proven to be better than the likes of KP & KAT. Neither of those two could even dream of pulling off such a move.

He's definitely in my top 3, at least in terms of peak. I would have absolutely ZERO problems taking him on my all-time team. Without a doubt the most complete C ever and it's not even really close when you consider his overall, offensive arsenal.

What proof exactly?
Inflated stats in a weak league with part-time accountants surrounding him?
Or the little in game footage we have that would definitely prove quite the opposite?
Wilt hasn't done anything on the level of 94 Hakeem, ever.
