Do you think Wilt's 31.84 PER record is unbreakable?

When you consider the fact that if ORB & BLKs were recorded, Wilt's would probably be in the 34-35 range. So no, it will never be broken

is this the best season ever?

I am saying from what I watched it was a much more simple offence as you would expect if a 7'1 giant was running the offence through him.

My apologies for the confusion. Based on my viewing of the game footage of the 1964 Warriors Celtics NBA Finals matchup (Gm. 4), we can see a few statistics below.

-16 Halfcourt Touches for Wilt

-1 assist for Wilt

-1* turnover for Wilt (which came from what was clearly an incorrect traveling call, even by the textbook 60's standards)

-52 offensive possessions for team



Keep in mind this is against the '64 Celtics, arguably the top defensive team ever, from KC Jones on down to their MVP Big Bill Russell. They featured aggressive full court pressing and swarmed Wilt in the half court denying him the ball.

It seems that not only is this malicious claim of Wilt being a turnover machine completely baseless, but also that the more Wilt had the ball in his hands in the half court, the better the team offense was (by far). He was someone who played in the wrong era, well ahead of his time.
