All the people and media putting championships as a big reason these players are above Wilt just don’t get basketball is a team sport and also coaching matters too. LeBron didn’t win till he teamed up in Miami. Jordan didn’t win till pippen and Jackson got that team together. Kareem had Oscar and then Magic. Russell has all those Hof plus Red. Wilt in my opinion was the greatest basketball player ever and really it’s not close.
Agreed its not even close... wilt was babe Ruth , Bolt, and joe Dimaggio all in one player... his domination is beyond imagination... NBA MVP in his rookie year... still holds 72 NBA records over 40 years since his death... most that will never be broken... he dominates others in their sport too... our ran the top NFL running back in His prime..Jim brown... top high jumper, world number one volleyball player, top weight lifter... bench pressing twice Shaq s top number... ali was afraid to box wilt,... the list is endless...
Averaged 50 points 25 rebounds for a whole season... lead the league in assists one year... top blocker in history.... more 50, 60, 70 point games than all of Jordan, Kobe, lebron combined.... even at the end of his career he was only one to consistently block Kareem sky hook... id pers were recorded his would be in the stratosphere for his career... no one even came close.... then nor now...
