Re: Michael Jordan vs. Wilt Chamberlain
Wilt was REALLY ahead of my time (born in 1988) but by watching MJ's performances imma have to say him.

Wilt struggled in the playoffs. That's why many people regarded Michael Jordan as the greatest player of all time because he's a much better playoffs and Finals performer than Mr. Chamberlain.

Re: Michael Jordan vs. Wilt Chamberlain
OK...if its playoffs you can go to stats etc but that still won't show the God's honest truth. I mean who on these boards was watching B-ball back then.
Old School on these boards is the 80's era...h3ll half the posters on these boards where just born when Jordan was a rookie.
So to have a fair argument like this will never be possible....on these boards that is.

Wilt didn't struggle in the playoffs.

Michael Jordan Playoffs Stats
33.4 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 5.7 apg, 2.2 spg, 0.9 bpg, 49 FG% (41.8 mpg)
His Regular Season Stats
30.1 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 5.3 apg, 2.3 spg, 0.8 bpg, (38.3 mpg)
Wilt Chamberlain Playoffs Stats
22.5 ppg, 24.5 rpg, 4.2 apg, ( 47.2 mpg)
His Regular Season Stats
30.1 ppg, 22.9 rpg, 4.4 apg, (45.8 ppg)
6 NBA titles >>> 2 NBA titles ( 6x Finals MVP >>> 2x NBA Finals MVP)
Wilt was a great regular season performer, but he was never as good as Jordan in the playoffs.
I don't want to use stats because the numbers in the 1960's were slightly inflated, and Wilt played more minutes than Air Jordan.

Nobody has impacted the game for 48 minutes on offense, defense, and on the glass as Chamberlain did in 1966-67. Nobody.
But Michael Jordan's First 3 NBA titles was a far much better accomplishment because he defeated several stacked teams in the early 1990's.

He never faced the mighty Boston Celtics with Russell & Red. In 1967, they needed Hannum to outcoach Russell, & Chamberlain to outplay him. Both at once. For one can imagine had Chamberlain not been so stubborn and prideful, he would have won 6 or more championships. Chamberlain was always on cruise control, and never gave his all, for if he let his emotions get the best of him in an altercation, he would kill them, intentionally or not. A proper and marvelous NBA career be the preferable option over a career ending manslaughter charge.

Jordan wins but default he didnt have a equal
WIlt had Russ
Magic had Bird
Jordan played at a time where he was so far ahead of his peers that he was flawless. He came at a perfect time Magic Bird were gone isiah was past his peak and Nike Espn ect.... pumped Mike up for me its like whos better Ali who fought the very best and won or Lennox lewis who beat a rack of Bums but like Jordan he looked great doing it.
