Man wtf even was Wilt lol
Who got booted from the top 5?
400 career games is an odd choice for the qualification for career leaderboards. Anyone know how they ended there? I would have assumed it would be much higher and a multiple of 82
I know they played in a very inflated stats era but those 50s/60s players are pretty insane.
57.4 – Wilt
45.6 – Pettit
45.2 – Baylor
42.7 – Oscar
41.9 – Russell
39.5 – West
These are crazy stats, but the problem with these career stats for young players is you’re comparing Luka’s prime career numbers at only 25 years old, to these other guys’ entire careers, including their late career declines in their mid or late 30’s.
It helps that he has the highest career USG rate of all time
Mavs fan just parade on this sub meat riding Luka with these daily posts lol like isn’t that what you have your own sub for?
I can’t believe people are still including Wilt Chamberlain stats in discussions in 2024
Wemby starting his career at 35.7
I love being on the sidelines watching the agenda’s being pushed. I’ve noticed Shai has dropped off and Luka has intensified, and Giannis has disappeared entirely. Jokic is going to win anyhow but I respect the hustle.
Bob Pettit is still alive too: he’s 91 years young. What a GD life. Hopefully he‘ll be given a proper send off by the league after he’s left this mortal coil
Active players should be on a separate list.
Well, my fellow americans, it looks like our country had a good run at producing legendary ball players. It seems as if we’re now entering the age of eastern European dominance. We need to be scouting chubby white guys, or else we wont stand a chance in the future.
If you only count his Chicago years, Michael Jordan would still only be 5th on this (31.5 / 6.3 / 5.4 = 43.2 over 930 games).
Jesus. People come up with the most obscure stats today. I don’t get it.
Are Luka bets for 2025 MVP available now? Cause that’s where my moneys going
400 games is a weird cutoff. Are there any all time greats that haven’t reached that mark? I can only think of Bill Walton maaaybe
Edit: nah even Bill Walton made it
There’s a good chance Luka could come closest to Jordan as GOAT as anybody has
