No he’s said he ran a 4.6 just like he said he had a 48 inch vertical and neither were true. And no you weren’t my age watching Wilt you’d be dead a long time if you were and you didn’t watch Wilt unless you were attending games live and you weren’t. You’ve seen Wilt as much as I have from film only I know what I’m looking at and understand context. You keep running from the fact that rules were much different when his numbers spiked or that he was the only 7 footer in the league while being allowed to stand under the basket at will. You’re also dishonest about him being far from old when the rules were changed and far from young all the times he squared off against Russell. If you had watched him you’d know this “your own eyes would’ve seen it.” And no it didn’t seem like Shaq was destroyed in the 95 finals because he wasn’t individually plus his team held double digit leads late in most of those games. But again you either didn’t watch or didn’t understand what you were watching. You prefer Wilt fine, you can express that and discuss it without being a douche bag when you run into contrary facts.

How the hell can you argue with the man himself. I posted a link to this because if you are arguing this, YOU didn’t watch that series. Shaq scores when Dream was out the game and Dream took him to the wood shed to the tune of being the finals MVP. That isn’t even an argument. You JUST LOOKED AT STATS. I saw it LIVE at the freaking Summit. And yes, I’m a Rockets fan. As such, Hakeem wasn’t dominant as Shaq for a career. I’ve never said that. I made a series comparison like some do for Russell and Wilt. That’s it.

Wilt was 3 years younger on a less talented team going against the best team in NBA history as far as dynasties. Then you don’t call 28 pts and 18 rbs AND left off assists and blocks vs Russell as not dominating? He is arguably 1 or 2 greatest ever. That’s not my list. That’s historians of the game.
People act like guys then couldn’t play. That’s an insult to people like Bob Pettit.

And I did see Wilt MANY MANY times. I was 19 in 1968 when I started LSU after one year of Juco baseball. My brother died in Vietnam otherwise, I would have been there myself.
