What do you think West's finals record would be if he had faced the loser of the ECF throughout his 9 finals

in 1962 do the Lakers beat the Warriors?.

in 1963 do the Lakers beat the royals?

In 1965 do the Lakers beat the 76ers?

In 1966 do the Lakers beat the 76ers?

In 1968 do the Lakers beat the 76ers?

In 1969 do the Lakers beat New York?

In 1970 do the Lakers beat the Bucks?

In 1972 do the Lakers beat the Celtics?

In 1973 do the Lakers beat the Celtics?

I think in this hypothetical scenario.

West wins in 1963,1969,1970,1972,1973 for a total of 5 rings and a finals record of 5 wins and 4 losses.

62 - Warriors
63 - Lakers
65 - 76ers
66 - 76ers
68 - 76ers
69 - Lakers
70 - Lakers
72 - Lakers
73 - Lakers

Close ones would be 62 (Lakers better team, but bad matchup for 50ppg Wilt), 69 (toss up between Knicks and Lakers for me), 73 (would have taken Celtics if not for Havlicek injury)

Mainly... Wilt wins a lot of titles if Russell isn't there

And Chamberlain would rightfully be seen as the GOAT. I think he is anyway tbh. He was amazing and his accomplishments look superhuman.
