Wilt was well above average in both of those respects anyway. He actually played PG for the Globies, and this was back when the Globies genuinely played NBA caliber ball and could and did beat NBA teams, so it wasn't entirely a stunt.
I know people get tired of hearing this from me, but I don't care. Anyone who never saw Wilt play is going to have a hard time comprehending just how insanely good he was.

I don't question that Wilt had great handles and was a gifted passer (led the league in apg after all), but all I'm saying is that it's possible to improve in some areas other than ft shooting.
Magic was the best passer ever. Wilt + Magic's passing would be a better player than Wilt with his regular passing IMO.

Now how about I name a 2 Guards, 2 Forwards, and a Center that encompasses most if not all of those traits..
Guard: Baron Davis/Kobe Bryant
Forward: Lebron James/Shaun Marion
Center: Tim Duncan
I woulda put Howard, but he cant shoot a jumper like TD can.
What you have now is the ALL-NBA team.

How about you start your own thread called "All NBA - Who makes it?" and you add your results in there. I didnt ask you for your all nba team. I asked you for specific aspects of a persons game that would make the perfect player. Kobe and Baron may be able to shoot the three but I think Ray Allen and Peja have next to perfect technique shooting that shot. I'd much rather have either of those 2 taking the 3 then Baron or Kobe. Also I think Nash handles the ball much better then any of the players named. Also D12 is much better at put backs and alley oops then Duncan is.
