Of course... But I think he helped their defense... Didn't they hold teams under 70 for a record number of games? I'm pretty sure they were...
Wallace does not make his greatest impact as an individual defender, especially not in this day and age with a few good offensive center,...
Nobody speaks of Wallace like that because they can't possibly fathom the idea that defense and rebounding, especially that combination, make a...
Well, most people won't call Hakeem the best defensive player of his time, actually no one else really distinguished themselves defensively...
I would take Russell… Obviously, you would build a team differently around both players; Hakeem would require more specialized players, while...
I don't think Russell is the GOAT. No I don't question the quality of the league when the guy who averaged 50 and scored 100 is the GOAT and the...
Russell won championships with Hall of Famers on the bench and scrubs on the bench... Early 60s Celtics had lots of talent (Cousy, Sharman,...
Who the PF was on the 94-95 team is debated for some reason, I think it was Robert Horry because he played the most minutes there with Mario Elie...
Rocket's PF situation = Depressing. Shane cannot play PF, not big enough, not a good enough rebounder. Juwon can't because he's Juwon Howard....
There shouldn't even be a question to Russell's top 3 status at not only center but overall player. All you have to do is point at his 11...

It's going to be difficult for announcers to blow him while he's on the bench...
I said that, a past his prime Wilt was right there with a young Kareem in everything but PPG. Blocks don't count for anything. Everyone grabs...
None of Wilt's PER include his blocks, steals, and offensive rebounds. That alone should make it invalid at least when comparing players PERs...
I said that he wasn't scoring as much, but everything else was as good or better than Kareem and that was old Wilt who didn't want to score as...
I can't go by that... Wilt and Kareem played 4 seasons together and an old Wilt played as well or better than he did in every statistical category...
And Wilt would adjust too... Flagrant fouls today were touch fouls back then. Players shot so many jump shots because they would get hurt inside....
Shaq playing in an up and down league? He couldn't dunk on half of his baskets either since players would rather put you on your ass then have...
That's the second time I watched that game... First time I was amazed by the offense... Second time I was disgusted by the defense. :confused:
Other: Nobody has ever matched Wilt's dominance as an individual basketball player; dominated in rebounding, scoring, passing when he felt like...
