You gotta remember, Wilt was 7ft 1 1/2. In a era where the closest guy too him was Bill Russell, who was 6ft 9. Bill Russell dominated him. Wilt's averages were halved everytime the Wilt played against Russell. There is a reason why Wilt only had 2 rings. Rules were all different. No offensive 3 seconds etc etc. Fouls were called differently. Average scoring games were 130+. Rebouding is the same.

Here are some stats with Wilt vs Shaq.

Both 14 seasons.

Notice how the PER, TS% and eFG% are higher. Look @ the TRB%, It's really really close. Given that more rebounds in Wilts era and he was fighting off 6ft 9 guys.

Look @ the playoffs. Shaq smashes him everywhere.

2 totatlly diferent Era's where Wilt is only guy over 6ft 9, rules are totally different. Clear winner here is SHaq.

Ok, with pick 33 ... I'll take ...

Patrick Ewing as my back-up centre.
Tough one, still a lot of great players left (including lots of oldies) ...

8-6 Suited

Hard decision for me here. It's between 2 great outside shooters, the greatest 2 of all time.

But I am going to have to take the greatest despite being slightly better in PER and worse in WS% a fair bit.


So I take Ray 'Jesus Shuttlesworth' Allen for my 2 guard.



PG: Gary 'The Glove' Payton
SG: Ray 'Jesus Shuttlesworth' Allen
SF: Scottie 'Pip' Pippen
PF: Charles 'Sir Charles' Barkley
C: Shaquille 'Shaq' O'Neil

BENCH: Wilt 'The Big Dipper' Chamberlain
