And why Curry, Lebron, Durant and today's star would completely and utterly sh1t on Wilt's era.

Backed with nothing but facts and unbiased opinions.

Enjoy.

Even adjusted for pace Wilt still averages peak Shaq/Kareem numbers

what about adjusted for playing in blowout games

[G-train]

Adjusting for pace carries far too many assumptions.
What we know is what happened - he kicked the leagues ass.
The league being the best of the best at that time.

Yawn....

Every few months somebody posts a video or does a thread reguritating the same stale arguments about Wilt or some other star from the 60s being overrated as if they have uncovered something new.

[hold this L]

The league was absolute garbage in that era other a few stars. It's not really groundbreaking. Wilt would dominate in any era, just obviously nowhere near as much as he did when he played vs so many scrubs.

After adjusting for dwarfism he doesn't.

Op, it's not our fault that you and your fellow bullshitters either suffer from Alzheimer's or are too retarded to have realized that all this crap has been destroyed ad nauseam.

And this doesn't even take into account fatigue (48 mpg=zero rest during games, plus, not 164 timeouts available back then, unlike today's *******, who can't even play 6 minutes in a row without a freakin' timeout being called or a period ending ) or the absolute trash that call themselves centers today.
LOL, Wilt was shitting on 80's centers in his mid 40's in strong pickup games, what he'd be doing in today's weak league, especially with today's technology, is unfathomable.

anyone can play 48 minutes against ymca competition

[SpaceJam]

Damn Wilt DEBUNKED.

I never said Wilt wouldn't be able to play 48 mpg today, OK?

[OmniStrife]

Damn watching the footage is all the evidence I need for seeing what an absolute trash can the NBA was back then compared to today.

[Round Mound]

You cant be overrated when they change the rules cause of you.

Not a bad video. Watched it a few days ago. The narrator actually adjusts Wilt's numbers properly, or at least more logically than the few posters who've attempted to do so here.

Honestly though, even somebody with a tenuous grasp on basketball history and its evolution understands that Wilt isn't averaging 50ppg today... It's just not good basketball.
