That's what the MVP trophy used to look like, which Kareem auctioned off awhile back. Wilt was one of the few guys to ever block Kareem's skyhook, doing in twice during a possession once. That block at the :39 mark had another one shortly after that.

It's videos like this that make me think Russell and Wilt would be fine in today's NBA. Certainly not putting up the stats they did back then, but still up there with the top bigs today like Joel and Jokic.
I also think Bill becomes the best defender in the NBA almost immediately. The smallball-style of play fits his defensive game very well.

If this is the correct game listed looks like Kareem Had 37pts/25rebs/8ast while Wilt went for 20/24/2. Kareem had another teammate pull down 24 rebounds.

I think they'd do fine defensively, I think offense is the question though. Wilt's offensive style seems very raw and turnover prone IMO.PhutureDynasty wrote:It's videos like this that make me think Russell and Wilt would be fine in today's NBA.

Legitimately forgot about him but I must admit I still view him as a 4. I was talking strictly 5s.Max. wrote:I won't allow this kind of disrespect.PhutureDynasty wrote:It's videos like this that make me think Russell and Wilt would be fine in today's NBA.

Look at that competition, look at the slow footedness. LeBron would be considered god on the basketball court or an alien from outer space in that era
