He may have, individually, been the most dominant single player to ever play a team sport. Yet, his name doesn't seem to get brought up all that often when there is discussion about the best basketball players of all time. That's why I'd say he is "underappreciated"
Part of the reason why is that Wilt was known to be a stat chaser while Russell got the better of him when it counted. He played 48.5 mintues a game not because he had to, but because he wanted to.

Over their entire career, Wilt averaged 28ppg and 28 rpg against Russell. He has 55 rebounds against Russell in a single game.
I'm tired of hearing

In his first stint in Philly (with the Warriors) Wilt had to score 35-40 for them to win. With the Sixers and Lakers, he could play more defense, rebound and pass the ball, because he had more help.
