But that's just it. Wilt dominated his era without any of the benefits players are spoiled with today, like trainers, doctors, nutritionists, ankle supported shoes and padded courts with shock absorption, hotel stays, chartered flights, looser game calls, etc. Wilt, Bill, Oscar, Nate, Elgin, and Jerry had no such things for them. That's why if they adapted to today's game many believe they'll perform even better. Not total proof but still somewhat fair reasoning.

@dhankins627 maybe not, but regardless I will pray for him, not praise him!lol



[dhankins627]

@ThemintPattie I don't think he'll be changing it anytime soon...

It makes me sick that people look up to this man, ok so he's a great basketball player, but he admitted to having slept with over 1000 women! And he acts like he doesn't want to marry anyone because no one "compares" to him? sounds like a very arrogant person. I rue the day I see a woman admit this and get any type of respect from anyone. He is a glorified whore. And until he changes that aspect of his life he gets no praise form me!

Wow these comment is just about argument

[youz1uglybish]

@weiyuho your argument works both ways sir...you cant assume wilt would do the same shit in modern day basketball and then dis miss some one elses argument that hakeem could have put up the same numbers in wilts era! i think its very subjective in that reguard because all were talking about is speculation! smh ppl assume that wilt in modern times would have been about 7'6 and 365lbs but are quick to point out that modern day centers woudnt have been as skilled in the 60's or as athletic

[youz1uglybish]

@weiyuho im very aware that sports evolve with time..improvements in lifestyle,dietary supplements etc have a great impact on improving ahleticism and that players like hakeem olajuwon,shaq etc had a big edge over guys who played in the 50's and 60's...the only thing is I DO acknowledge this there for if your going to ask me who was a better player im going to tell the truth..ppl think that wilt from the 60's could score 75ppg in the 90's and i tell them there on crack it would never happen

[weiyuho]

@youz1uglybish wilt was the most dominant player in nba history. u can only compare players to others in the same era, as environments and lifestyles change. if hakeem was born in the 40's im sure hed be a diff player than he was. therefore u sir, r an idiot

[Sage80]

@youz1uglybish If he does, then he has his cock buried deep in 100% of basketball experts as well, who ALWAYS rank him #2 behind MJ. Whereas you're butthurt for Hakeem in a way that no one else outside of Houston could ever be.
