What would Wilt's finals averages look like had he played LA in 62 65 66 and 68

As most people know LA just couldn't match up with Wilt as well as Boston did.

As Wilt' averaged staggering numbers against the Lakers in the decade of the '60s.

As if I can recall I think he averaged 35 to 40 PPG against them from 1960 to 1968.

So it makes me wonder what type of numbers Wilt would have put up on them in the finals had he gotten past Boston in those years.

As Russell who was nowhere near the offensive player that Wilt was. had a 23 ppg series, a 24 ppg series and hell an 18 ppg series on a .702 FG against them.


In 1962 I think he averages over 40 PPG against LA in that series.

In 1965 I think he averages over 34 PPG.

In 1966 I think he averages over 35 PPG.

1968 I think he averages 28 PPG.
Reggie Jackson is amazing and a killer in the clutch that's all.

Simply put, he'd have a huge case for goat.
