5 les. There were no MVPs or FMVPs in his prime though unless he would have 5 FMVPs and at least multiple MVPs, and he was a 2x scoring champ.
srs? he averaged a triple double for like 5 yearsHow can you not have Shaq in your Top 10 and put Big O in it?

You should put Kurt Rambis 10 or 12.

Was Rambis the greatest player of his era?
If that was LeBron or Duncan with all those playoff stats but only one ring, you and the rest of the Kirby s would be ting on them
I'm defending him here though because he actually played dominant in losses unlike Bran in '07 or '11.If that was LeBron or Duncan with all those playoff stats but only one ring, you and the rest of the Kirby s would be ting on them
How many scoring les and championships do you think Zydrunas Ilgauskas would have won in Mikan's era?
What about kobe in his playoff losses in 98, 99, 03, 04, 06, 08, 11, 12? didn't he go out like a scrub in a few of tho's?
Yeah but he has 5 rings though.
No, Kobe's stats in elimination games and in the finals are flat out embarrassing.
Steve Kerr too
solid list.
This is stupid. Chamberlain led the 76ers in scoring in 67 for his first le. Lakers lost to the Celtics in 69 and Chamberlain was hurt
You're sotrting stats and cherrypicking how cute. West played like in the playoffs for the 71 championship and anyone who watched that year knows it was Chamberlains work against Alcindor in the WCF that was the lynchpin.
Chamberlain gets hurt and West once again shows his beta. West was shooting 45% and volume scoring doesn't get it done. 'Wilt's coach' Van Der Berk got canned. It is what it is.
Not in the playoffs, he was the third leading scorer.
West shot 49.0%FG and 83.9%FT for the series which is as efficient as you can get. And he averaged 37.9 ppg and 7.4 apg lmao what more can he do.
Wilt shot 37.5% from the line. He was not that efficient as you think. His playoff career TS% is a measly 52.4% because he only shot 46.5% from the line.
BTW the Lakers went on a 8-0 run right after Wilt left. West finished with 42/13/12 on 14-29 fg, 14-18 ft.
Chamberlain was an awful FT shooter bravo for your insight. . .In other news West was a mediocre rebounder and man defender.
BTW the Lakers lost after Wilt hurt his knee. VDB got fired but by all means grandstand on 6 possessions. Wilt was the greatest defensive presence in NBA history.
Further, you fixation on finals is unfounded. West made it to the finals and lost to the Celtics a lot. I am not a fan of the term but crowing about stats in losing efforts is the epitome of stat padding. 42/13/12 doesn't mean quite so much when you are losing over 60% of the time.
Baylor was there for the majority of his career. West never had to carry a team nor did he suffer the constant double and triple teams. They still couldn't win. It was Chamberlain and Greer that finally beat those Celtics teams over 5 games in 1967.
One thing that strikes me is your ignorance tot he evolution of Chamberlain's game. Early on in his career he would plow into the face of those double and triple teams. He shot a poor percentage around 50% but dominated the offensive boards and went to the stripe 15+ times a game.
He was getting to 7 games with the Celtics but they lost like 3 years in a row. He grew frustrated and evolved his game. By 1967, his apg was up to 8. 8 assists for a C is unbelievable, he stepped it up to 9 apg those playoffs. He shot 68% from the field. Truly masterful.
Keep on fellating the white boy and his losing efforts.
I am sure if you ask him nicely he will say yes. You don't need to go through all of this. It's embarrassing.
For people to come up with their own objective thoughts on Chamberlain's game I present:
It's a montage of 335 baskets made by Chamberlain. They are divided into dunks, left block, right block etc. You can see the gambit of post moves Wilt had. Keep in mind that it's Jabbar, Russell, Unseld, Reed, Lucas, etc that are getting help on those double and triple teams. It was not the sea of 6'8'" whitey.
Compare that to what you see from guys like Dwert, Gasol, or Duncan.
West was regarded as one of the best perimeter defenders ever so I dont know where you got the poor man defender thing.Chamberlain was an awful FT shooter bravo for your insight. . .

How is it statpadding if its a)the NBA Finals b)vs the best team of the entire decade Boston c)Games where close d)Series went to 7 games meaning his team won 3 games, and West played in a 7th game in the Finals 3 times.
Wilt's stats would dip down come playoff time and he was capable of doing more, I mean he was averaging something like 40 ppg in the regular season. Actually 39.9 ppg to be exact in his scoring prime up until '66, but what did he average in the playoffs during this time? 32.3 ppg, a -7.6 ppg drop.
I want the player that was known as "Mr Clutch" in the playoffs please.
And Lebron fared better?
West was a heady ball player that understood what teams were trying to do so he was good at help and deflections. Tremendous jump shooter. I said man defender intentionally as he was not very athletic and could be abused.
West went to the Finals 9 times and lost 8 times. He went 20-33. That is 36%. He managed to win 3 games twice and that was it outside of beating the Knicks 4-1. It was not close. He never beat the Celtics as did the 76ers. Now you are just making up to go with the stat padding.
