    But get this, The Lakers did not win a championship in either year.

    Here were Jerry's averages those 2 years:
    1969 NBA Playoffs: 30.9 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 7.5 apg, 46.3 FG%
    1969 NBA Finals: 37.9 ppg (2nd highest ever in an NBA Finals series)
    1969 NBA Finals, Game 7: 42-13-12
    1970 NBA Playoffs: 31.2 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 8.4 apg, 46.9 FG%
    1970 NBA Finals: 31.3 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 7.7 apg, 45.0 FG%
    Yep. How about West in game seven of the '70 Finals? The same West who couldn't get the ball past half court against Frazier, and who watched as Frazier scored 36 points against him.

    How about West in the '71 post-season? Oh wait. He didn't even play.

    How about West in the '72 post-season? Well, guess what? He FINALLY won a ring. BUT, it was certainly not because of HIS play, but rather that of Wilt, who CARRIED that team in the post-season, en route to a FMVP. How did your boy West perform? He shot .376 in the entire post-season, and an unfathomable .325 in the Finals.

    '73? West in the Finals? .443 shooting. How about the clinching game five defeat (and in a game in which Chamberlain scored 23 points, with 22 rebounds, and shot 9-16)...West goes 5-17 from the field.

    So, your boy West only played well in an ENTIRE series in ONE post-season with Wilt (who played brilliantly in FOUR of his, and outplayed Russell in the other.)

    Give me your reasons why Bird over Wilt. Including BOTH the regular season, AND, the post-season.

    And in his post-season play, I want ALL of his "must-win" and "series clinching" performances.

    I will gladly post Wilts...

    Ok, here are the known numbers in Wilt's "must-win" playoff games (elimination games), and clinching game performances (either deciding winning or losing games), of BOTH Chamberlain, and his starting opposing centers in those games.

    Let's compare this, to whatever you can up with for Kareem, Bird, and anyone other than MJ...

    The idiotic Bill Simmons claims that Wilt "shrunk" in the post-season, particularly in BIG games.

    Had he actually done any real research into Wilt's post-season career, he would have found that Wilt averaged 27.0 ppg in his 35 "must-win" and/or clinching games. Meanwhile, his starting opposing centers averaged 14.5 ppg in those 35 games. He also outscored his opposing starting center in 29 of those 35 games, including a 19-0 edge in his first 19 games of those 35. Furthermore, in his 13 games which came in his "scoring" seasons (from 59-60 thru 65-66), Chamberlain averaged 37.3 ppg in those "do-or-die" or clinching games. And there were MANY games in which he just CRUSHED his opposing centers in those games (e.g. he outscored Kerr in one them, 53-7.)

    Wilt had THREE of his four 50+ point post-season games, in these "elimination games", including two in "at the limit" games, and another against Russell in a "must-win" game. He also had games of 46-34 and 45-27 (and only 4 months removed from major knee surgery) in these types of games. In addition he had games of 39 and 38 in clinching wins.

    In the known 19 games in which we have both Wilt's, and his starting opposing center's rebounding numbers, Chamberlain outrebounded them in 15 of them, and by an average margin of 26.1 rpg to 18.9 rpg. And, had we had all 35 of the totals, it would have been by a considerably larger margin. A conservative estimate would put Wilt with at least a 30-5 overall edge in those 35 games. He also had games, even against the likes of Russell, and in "must-win" situations, where he just MURDERED his opposing centers (e.g. he had one clinching game, against Russell, in which he outrebounded him by a 36-21 margin.)

    And finally, in the known FG% games in which we have, Chamberlain not only shot an eye-popping .582 in those "do-or-die" games, but he held his opposing centers to a combined .413 FG%. BTW, he played against Kareem in two "clinching" games, and held Abdul-Jabbar to a combined .383 shooting in those two games (23-60), while Wilt shot .545 (18-33.)

    The bottom line, in the known games of the 35 that Wilt played in that involved a "must-win" or clincher, Wilt averaged 27 ppg, 26.1 rpg, and shot .582 (and the 27 ppg figure was known for all 35 of those games.)

    And once again, Chamberlain played in 11 games which went to the series limit (nine game seven's, one game five of a best-of-five series, and one game three of a best-of-three series), and all he did was average 29.9 ppg (outscoring his opposing center by a 29.9 ppg to 9.8 ppg margin in the process), with 26.7 rpg, and on .581 shooting. Or he was an eye-lash away from averaging a 30-27 game, and on nearly .600 shooting, in those 11 "at the limit" games.


    Oh, and BTW, Chamberlain's TEAMs went 24-11 in those 35 games, too.

    That was the same player that Simmons basically labeled a "loser", and a "choker", and who "shrunk" in his BIG games.

    jlauber - Did you see the 1968 Retroactive Finals MVP thread? I found the articles and full box scores (except for minutes played for a handful of games) for that year and 69 (upon someone's request in the thread), and posted download links. Hopefully people check those out (I'd like to take this all the way back to the 54-55 season, though we'll see how it goes).

Give me a list of all of Kareem's 30-27-5 .515 playoff games (and keep in mind that he played FOUR seasons IN the Wilt-era.)

    2, Wilt played alongside his HOF teammates in 24 full seasons. Russell played with HIS in 71 full seasons. Russell had an edge in HOF teammates in EVERY season that he and Wilt played, and with margins as high as 5-1, 6-2, 7-2, 7-1, and even 8-0. And yet Wilt nearly beat him in four game seven's and routed him in another.

    3. West was the Lakers best player ONLY in '69, and in a year in which your "HOF Top-50 player" Baylor lost THREE games in the Finals.

    4. Give me the list of teammates that Wilt played with that had post-season shooting percentages of .568, .575, ..579, .582, .584, .603 and .609 ...like Bird had. I honestly believe that Wilt did not have ONE teammate who ever shot over 50% in the post-season (and if there was, it would have been very limited.

    5. Bird and his THREE rings came in a decade in which he averaged THREE HOF teammates PER season. Even with all of that, he could only get to the Conference Finals in eight of them, and the Finals in five of them. Chamberlain took mostly putrid rosters, who played even WORSE (including your boy West, who absolutely choked in '72 and '73) to 12 Conference Finals, and six Finals. And, aside from '69, Wilt was the BEST player on the floor in FIVE of them (sorry "FMVP" Reed, whom he badly outplayed.)

    6. You bring up Wilt's FTs. How about his FG%'s? Wilt in his SIX Finals? .517, .525, .534, .560 (against Thurmond, in Nate's greatest season, and the same Nate who held Kareem to .486, .428, and .405 in their three playoff H2H's), .600, and .625 (in a Finals in which he scored 23.2 ppg, grabbed 24.1 rpg...or the ONLY 20-20 .600 Finals in NBA history...and all accomplished only four moths after major knee surgery.

    Bird's FG% in his FIVE Finals? .488, .484, .450. .449, and yes, .419. And Bird had a playoff series, in his greatest regular season of his career, in which he shot .351 (yes .351.)

    Kareem? Shot .457 against Wilt in the '72 WCF's (and .414 in the last four pivotal games.) .428 against Thurmond in '73. And how about his .405 against Thurmond in '72 (and when Nate outscored and outshot him.) Or Moses holding Kareem to .462 shooting in '81 (in an NBA that shot .486. Or Kareem shooting .481 in the '84 Finals (in an NBA that shot .492.) Or Moses outrebounding Kareem by TEN per game. Or Moses dumping a 38 point game on him in a stunning round one upset. Or Kareem's '88 Finals of 13.1 ppg, 4.1 rpg, and on .414, and with a game seven of 4 points, on 2-7 shooting, with 3 rebounds, and five PF's in 29 minutes, while Laimbeer and Salley just torched him?

    Once again, post ALL of Kareem's and Bird's MUST WIN and SERIES CLINCHING GAMES , as well as their OPPOSING players, and we'll compare them with Chamberlain's 35 games. BTW, Wilt and Kareem had two series clinching games in '71 and '72, and Wilt outshot Kareem by a .545 to .383 margin (18-33 to 23-60) in those two games.
    1. Postseason highs? Who the **** cares. In those postseason highs his team went nowhere and the early 60s pace was at an all-time high. ANd you can't compare 27 rebound games in those different eras. Kareem led 3 Championship teams in scoring, Wilt zero. Kareem's career scoring in the Playoffs is much better than Wilt's.

    2. "nearly beat him". Nobody cares that he nearly beat him. Check his FT-FTA in those close Game 7 losses, go ahead and post them, they're embarrassing.

    3. So you admit that in 69 Wilt had the best player in the league and HCA but still lost? That is a fact.

    4. Shooting %s were different in their eras. The 60s teams barely was able to shoot over 40% without a 3pt line because they were not as good and that era was weak.

    5. This is just hilarious. "He could only go to so and so conference finals and finals" Bird won 3 Championships, and only lost in 40% of his Finals. Wilt won 2 Championships (1 less than Bird) and lost in 66% of his Finals.

    6. Give me their FT%. Especially Bird's. Wilt shot 38 FT% in the Finals, while Bird was in the 90%s.
