Lionel Messi

Not enough shot blocks to be considered

Loved Dr. J. That dunk over Michael Cooper was great.

Shaq

Probably this. Nobody could stop him, despite hack-a-Shaq.

Between Shaq and Wilt, Wilt would be my pick

Pfft. Aaron Carter beat him

If you were looking transcend all generations, then KAJ and/or Shaq

BYUHgrad

5/27/17 2:36pm

KAJ and Shaq would require double teams

If it's a team like GSW, then they try and out score you. Go ahead with your

Not when Shaq/Kareem are hitting 70% of their shots

donnerstag

5/27/17 4:01pm

70% from 2 is equivalent to <50% from 3... The Warriors take that challenge

Dissenter

5/27/17 4:49pm

Warriors aren't going to hit 50% very often

donnerstag

5/27/17 5:00pm

And Shaq aint hitting 70% either, he shot 58%

Dissenter

5/28/17 1:26pm

That's because teams double teamed him

donnerstag

5/28/17 4:59pm

Bro do the math with real life numbers. GSW shot 39%

"Bro, do the math with real numbers."

messi

Shaq shot .582 fg% for his career

Big Daddy D

5/27/17 10:34pm

That's not close to 70%.

Granted I never saw wilt play but wasn't he just Dwight Howard but actually

Dillinger

What differentiates the two

donnerstag

5/27/17 4:58pm

Wilt was also playing against much shorter, less athletic, less skilled

Dillinger

5/27/17 5:24pm

The league was much smaller back then

Interesting page I found. Wilt was in his mid 30's when he was going against

Dillinger

5/27/17 11:15pm

Also interesting, Wilt was 7'1 1/4 w/o shoes with a 7'8" wingspan weighing 270

Dillinger

Shaq was a load for sure...

So it goes...

I don't think there's any comparison. I'd love to see what he could do today...

So it goes...

5/27/17 9:09pm

I'd do a hard pass on Wilt. Great player, not a winner.

I don't think he was even the best player any season he played

Kareem and it's almost not close
