Three GOAT peaks (idrm the order), then Wilt with a little bit of separation behind that grouping.

if you're doing something like corp (value relative to what is required for a championship on a random team), 67 wilt might be the best.

srs-relatvism would get him lower though

You don’t think Wilt belongs? In the latest Peaks Project he finished in the top 5 just behind Kareem.

the latest peaks project may no longer be all that representative of current board perspective tbh

I do not think Hakeem goes over Wilt a year ago

Well that’s true this boards perspective is ever changing. I still remember 15 years ago Peak Duncan vs Peak Moses was considered a legitimate debate.

Absolute peak = LeBron (2009) Wilt (1967) are #1

Multi year peak = MJ (88-91) most consistent

Kareem (77) great offensive and defensive peak
