Wilt 100

I recommend watching "Wilt 100" on the NBA channel.

Sometimes, I forget why I still consider him the greatest that ever played basketball.
Jordan was the greatest all around player of the modern generation,
Kareem was the most important player that I have ever seen.

Wilt, words cannot describe what he actually did on the basketball courts.

  1. Points- No words 
  2. Rebounds - No Words  
      1. Led league his last 3 years at  over 18. (For those naysayers, the Hall of Fame is full of centers he dominated in his old age.)
  3. Blocks- Almost surely the best ever because of the minutes he played. 
      1. Only 112 games of Wilts career are checked for Blocks... His Avg 8.8 per game. That includes the playoffs against Russell and Nate Thurmond. 
      2. Hakeem one of our faves averaged 3.5 which is incredible. 
  4. DWS- Defensive Wins - Underrated at fifth all time. Russell is 1, but blocks and steals were not part of the equation.  Let's consider Tim Duncan is 2nd ahead of Jordan and Wilt. An adjustment needs to be made on DWS.
  5. OWS- Offense - Lets just say his bad night when he was triple teamed still is in another atmosphere to anyone. 
  6. Win Shares- 2nd all time, not behind Russell, but it is Kareem again.  


These numbers are insane.
