Depends on a lot of factors. MJ and Wilt won't have the same stats as they had individually when put in the same league because of pace differences.
One intriguing pairing using modern players would be David Robinson and Hakeem Olajuwon from the early-mid 90s. Robinson had a season where he went over 2 steals per game AND 4 blocks per game and Hakeem was dominant in both cats as a center the very same season. They'd be strong in FG%, REB, PTS as well and both were very good at the line for centers. Both passed well too. I love that pairing to be honest.
I see one mistake from some posters in this thread (providing this is h2h fantasy). There is no reason to pick players who are dissimilar. You pick out 6-7 cats and try to dominate in those.

Ah crap.
Well, personally, I just don't care about fantasy basketball, so I'll stick with my original choices just to be obstinate.

Actually on second thought i would not take Wilt because of the FT%, in Fantasy you want a guy that dominates every category. Wilt doesn't do that.
Bird actually does a better job at giving you across the board stats than Jordan.
Bird would be a great guy to have dominating like Marion. 25 points, 10 rebounds, 6.5 dimes, 2 steals and a block, a three pointer, and great FG% and FT%.
Bird beats Jordan in FT and FG%, rebounds, and assists. They are the same at blocks. Bird would be a better choice.

IMHO Wilt and MJ would put up better stats than historical playing in todays NBA and todays rules. MJ might take 25fts a game and Wilt rebounds the ball at a higher point than 90% of players can shotblock. Joe Dumars told a reporter that MJ would score at least 45PPG in todays rules.

Same here...


Then I will probably take Wilt along with MJ or Magic.
