THE "OFFICIAL" AROUND THE NBA 2012-13 THREAD...........

[3RA1N1AC]

Wilt predominately played against guys almost a footer shorter then he was. Even his biggest adversary (Russell) was only 6 foot 9 while Wilt was 7 foot 2.

not his fault he was bigger and better than everyone, and there were plenty of players over 6'9" in the nba throughout his career...the year he averaged 50/25 walt bellamy was the ROY at 6'11"

dude lead the league in assists at 31 years old while averaging 24/24

its subjective, but to me wilt was the greatest to ever play

Martel Webster had 34 points tonight. Is he in the conversation?

Wilt is so impressive physically he would still dominate today.

To put it another way, he was bigger and stronger than Greg Oden. With the Lakers he was 7-1 300+lbs of muscle, and he was always a great athlete.

There isn't anyone fucking with him in today's game.

 

[RoyToy]

Noah 6-11 232
B.Lopez 7-0 260
Chandler 7-1 240
Jordan 6-11 265
Hibbert 7-2 280

Wilt is still bigger

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

'TELL!!!!!

espn

No Kobe Bryant for Lakers tonight, but Dwight Howard enters averaging 21.5 PPG, 15.5 RPG in last 6 games (Lakers 5-1 in those 6)

What a wimp. What happened to "There's no time for injuries" ?

This is what I was talking about Speed...... the guy is one of the toughest players to ever play and you make this little crack on him. He has a history of playing thru injuries his whole career.

If you're not making "little cracks" on the Lakers you're not a real Blazer fan.

Shaq was scarier than wilt, and played in a less racist more athletic era.

At his peak, Shaq was the most unstoppable player I've ever seen.

sorry. this no time to miss games. playoff seed on the line. he's letting his teammates down. not to mention he wouldn't have gotten hurt if he didn't take that wild off the mark shot at the end of the atlanta game. he has no sense of what he can and cannot do

 

[huevonkiller]

His defense held him back somewhat imo, he could have been better but whatever.

Kobe is still a hypocrite, agreed on that.

 

[tlongII]

Fuck Kobe! He's a drama queen!

The playoffs are there for the taking. All we have to do is win games. They're all coming to the Rose Garden.

On this date 5 yrs ago, Houston's streak of 22 straight W's ended w/ a 20pt loss to @Celtics.

That should be posted in the game thread too!

That really sucks. I remember when there were Laker fans like DaRizzle on this board, and we would all talk about who will be the better big ... Oden or Bynum. Now they are both likely done in terms of being dominant NBA posts.

I think at this point it would be a surprise if either one started more than 50 games in a season again.

And now the Heat's 22-game streak is in jeopardy, as they trail the Celtics by 14 points in the 2nd quarter.

Here's to history repeating itself.
