Highly unlikely since he would have had to go up against the hard-nosed, physical Defense of C and PF in/around the paint in a much slower paced era than the one he played in... vs. today's much faster era, where he would literally shoot 100% in/around the wide-open Defenseless paint, or just coast out to the 3-point line untouched, to chuck 3-ball after 3-ball with little to no resistence from the opponent.Bush4Ever. wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 10:38 am Wilt said he would have averaged 70 points a game against the "terrible" centers of the 1990s.
A pretty clean example of the "muh era" talk, with everything shifted back a generation or two:
That's what always gets me. This talk takes place pretty much every era. You all didn't learn anything when it was your era/hero getting irrationally shit on by even older heads?
There you go taking this personal again.Bush4Ever. wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 11:10 am The 80s/90s were sissies compared to the alphas of the 60s.
Wilt averaged 50 in the 60s, so 70 is probably a generous estimate.
Wilt played 48+ minutes a game one season. The 80s/90s guys topped out at the low 40s (I guess they needed their precious rest HAHAHAHAHAHAHA).
Point proven. Facts.
Wilt would have averaged 70 a game in 1994. Dream/Shaq/D-Rob might have been in the high 20s, but Wilt would have averaged 70. FACTS.
Never happened because no TV. Just like Babe Ruth never hit home runs because of no tv.

There you going taking this personal again... lololol.
The Pace in 1994 was 95.1 and teams that year averaged just 84 FGA per game... Wilt averaged 40 FGA in 62, which means he would have had to take just about half his team's shots just to average 50, nevermind 70.
Be sensible for once, will ya?

Massive deflection noted... and FTR there is NO QUESTION players in the 60's had it tougher in terms of travel. But that aside the 60's would have been an absolute cakewalk for the Bigs of the 80's/90's considering the typical 60's C shot 40%-45% and stood only about 6'8, 6'9.Bush4Ever. wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 11:22 amI wasn't even talking about you dude.

These young whippersnappers don't know how sissy things were in the 90s.
Science, easier travel, easier playing burdens all-around, dumb non-thinking centers (see Wilt interview where he lays out an ironclad case about why the centers of the 90s were dumb---his evidence of shaking his head and going "oh my god" is compelling), etc...communism and so on (whatever that means about basketball itself....communism).
Shaq/D-Rob/Dream....25-30 PPG
Wilt 70 PPG.
I don't want to hear about made-up statistics like pace. FACT: Wilt averaged 50 a game. FACT: Shaq topped out at 30. And that's WITH sissy alpha things going on...so logically Wilt averages 70 a game in 1994.
Discuss what that upsets you

I'm not taking it personally. I'm educating you young fella lol (that's the word you youngins use, correct?)thedangerouskitchen wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 11:40 am

Again, be sensible and stop taking this personal... it's not a good look for you.
The stats guys didn't know how to keep stats back then. That's what people on the YouTube have said anyway.PhutureDynasty wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 1:38 pmI am sure everyone at the game, including the people logging the stats, were brainwashed into thinking Wilt got 100...
