Not only that, but maybe Deuce can explain how Willt can lead the league in scoring, at 33.5 ppg, rebounding, at 24.6 rpg, FG%, at .540 (a new record at the time), hand out 5.2 apg, ...just OVERWHELM ALL of his peers in EVERY facet of the game..., finiish FIRST in 13 statistical categories, and in the Top-Five in 18 (and those didn't include TRB%, or BPG, or Off rebs, or def rebs)...and "only" have a PER of 28.82. Oh, and BTW, he also led his TEAM to the BEST RECORD in the league (65-66 season.)
