Is Wilt Chamberlain a top 10 player of all-time?

[Sarcastic]

He's top 3.

[Deuce Bigalow]

He's top 3.

[SHAQisGOAT]

Shaquille is way too high, he was defeated 1 on 1 against Hakeem, did not have a long career and benefitted from the best SGs since Jordan.

Way too high? Not at all, not that I can't see him lower but just a bit, can also see him higher. 1 MVP, 3 FMVP, 4 rings, like 18 years career, 14 all-nba teams, 3 all-defensive teams, over 10 prime years, top 5 peaks, one of the most dominant ever...

Wilt has more of a case for top 5 than Kobe does top 10....


Players in your top 10 that was THE leader of a team capable of beating the 60s celtics or a team equally as stacked MAYBE 1 or 2 times

Michael Jordan
Magic Johnson
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Larry Bird
Shaquille O'Neal

You think Kobe is a top 5 candidate, but not Shaq?

Career 24/11 on 58%
4x NBA Champion
3x Finals MVP (35/15 over the 3 Finals)
1x MVP

Considered by many to be the most dominant player ever.

BTW, Shaq held his own against Hakeem. 28/12/6/3 on 60%.

EDIT: Shaq played for 19 years.

Top 10:

MJ
KAJ
Magic
Russell
Shaq
Wilt
Bird
Duncan
Kobe
Hakeem

Shaq over Duncan? While Shaquille is with Charles Barkley on TNT, Duncan is STILL making all NBA first team.
Shaq over Bird? Larry Legend shoot circles around Shaquille and yet pulled about 10 rebounds in his career, he had a short career but like shaq, was instrumental in 3 rings and it wasn't against Jason Kidd or Reggie miller.
Shaq over Wilt? any historian will tell you how much more dominant Wilt was in his era than Shaq is in his era.
Hakeem has multiple moves in his arsenal offensively than Shaq did in his and was an elite defender.
And Kobe was instrumental in the success of Shaq, he helped keep defenders honest while Shaq Dominated

Shaq is in my top 12 but he was not as dominant as he should have been , played 75 % of the season 11 of his 19 seasons and was on the decline after the 03-04 season.
There is a reason why he played on 6 teams in his career, no other player has played on more than three team on your list.
My top 12
MJ
Kareem
Magic
Russell
Bird
Wilt
Oscar
Duncan
Kobe
Hakeem
Shaq
LeBron

I personally think he is 11th, I don't think he lived up to his potential and there are too many great players you can put ahead of him, maybe he can be as high as 9th but he doesnt go over MJ Kareem Bird Magic Russell Oscar Duncan or Wilt.

Are you like a Kobe stan's alt posing as a Heat fan?

Nope, just objective.

Shaq is 41, who cares if he's not making an all-nba team? He made 8 all-nba first teams in his prime as a center, while having to battle Hakeem and Robinson in their primes for the sole all-nba first team center spot in the 90's. If Duncan was listed as a center in Shaq's prime, you think he'll be making first teams over Shaq? How many 30+ ppg playoff runs did Duncan have? How about adding 15 rpg along with 30 ppg? How many times has Duncan repeated? Duncan struggled to score 25. Shaq would get 40 in the Finals if he wanted in his prime.

How is Wilt in the top 10 and Shaq isnt? Shaq has 4 titles to Wilt's 2. Shaq was by far the superior player in the playoffs and finals over Wilt and it isnt even close in that department.

Kobe is lucky to be top 10.

Kg is a proven loser...........never led his team to the Finals,I dun know how is he bette than Wilt & KOBE

[K]

Wilt is the GOAT.

Michael Jordan
Bill Russell
Magic Johnson
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Larry Bird
Shaquille O'Neal
Kobe Bryant
Tim Duncan
Hakeem Olajuwon
Lebron James

All 10 players listed above have more or at least equal amount of rings, finals mvps, other accolades, and are considered superior playoff performers. Does Wilt have a case over one of these players?

I'm sorry, is something as meaningless as a join date and a random location something that gives you an upper hand and is a thing of pride? That's some low standards, dude.
