I said that at his career best... thus as he pinnacle of his career he could be a poor man's Wilt Chamberlain, but a mediocre one. I was trying thus to reference the skill set, and perhaps even automatic dominance because of his skill set against Power Forward-like Centers, but not because of how good he is, but really just because he does what he does.

I stand by my statement, I don't think I didn't say anything unrealistic.

Regular people need to wait in a very long line.

Maybe reading comprehension is not my strongest skill, but something about this part doesn't seem right. :lol:

It's called a double negative...translated:
I think I said something unrealistic.

Hey Everyone! Did you knew that Iran was a country right in between Croatia and Portugal?

Also for your knowledge, Argentina is between Malta and Wales.

Viva les Euros!


lol! Iran is a country in Asia, not Europe... People needs to check the X's & O's of the world map.


Sarcasm perhaps...

Shaq, Hakeem and DRob are considered a poor mans Wilt Chamberlain.


As a scorer MJ is a poor mans Wilt Chamberlain.

What skill set does he have to make you believe he could be a poor mans version of a 50ppg 24rpg player or a 24ppg 22rpg 8apg player?? Do you realy think he could be a poor mans 70%FG player?

Read the whole sentence. I constructed carefully because I knew smartasses like you and Obinna would pop out of nowhere with these types of remarks. I said, that at his career best possibly he could be a mediocre version of a poor man's Wilt Chamberlain.

Chill out. I am expect at best 18 ppg, 14 rpg, 4 blks. At best, at best.
