I've seen enough, Wilt was most dominant big ever
Numbers don't lie. What about Shaq? Swept six times in the playoffs. Needed Kobe and Wade to win titles. Imagine if he had to go through Hakeem with a stacked team every single season.
Shaq was super dominant in his prime, but he didn't lead the league in rebounds or blocked shots. Wilt did on numerous occasions. Shaq also didn't have the scoring titles Wilt did.
And Kareem? He was great too, but his six titles came with the two best point guards off all time. Without them, he was winning MVPs on a Lakers team that did nothing.

Agreed...except instead of 6-10 (measured at NBA Draft express)... 7-1+.
Instead of 210 lbs... around 290.
Instead of a 7-4 wingspan, ... 7-8.
On top of that, did Noel compete in the 100, the 440, the triple-jump, and the high-jump in college?
Maybe you can provide us with some first-hand accounts of Noel dunking on a 12 ft rim; or touching the top-of-the-backboard; or dunking from the FT line (thanks Tex Winter); or a video in which he blocks a sky-hook by a 7-2 HOFer, not once, but twice in a row? Or perhaps an interview with a world-class body-builder who was stunned by Noel's strength?
Finally, if Noel had Wilt's post game, post moves, variety of shots, etc...
THAT Noel would be the equivalent of a WILT in today's NBA.

Except a 6-4 guard with limited shooting range has scored more points in the playoffs than him in less games.
Must have been easy to dominate in a league of inferior players, once he met up with the best teams his numbers plummeted accordingly.

Except a prime scoring Wilt averaged 33 ppg in his first six post-seasons, and covering 52 games. 12 games of 40+, and four of 50+.
And he had post-seasons of 28-30, 29-28, 30-31, 31-27, and 34-27 against the GOAT Defensive center in NBA history.
As well as demolishing that center and his dynasty with an epic 22-32-10 .556 series.

Wilt's first 7 seasons in the league when he was the top scorer, he averaged 32.8 points in the playoffs. After that, his role shifted from being a volume scorer to passing more as he had more balanced teams. On the Lakers, he had more of a Bill Russell role. West was the primary scorer.
The majority of Wilt's playoff games came after he was leading the league in scoring.

Chamberlain was never outrebounded by an opposing starting center in his 29 post-season series.
Can Shaq make that claim? Hakeem? Kareem? Russell? Ewing? Duncan?

Had Wilt and Russell swapped rosters, and coaches, and it would have been Wilt holding all those rings.
