My post stating that Wilt Chamberlain is the Basketball G.O.A.T has been driving Jordan fans craz. I kept the post factual by stating that Wilt still has 72 NBA records, Jordan has only 3, and even a first grader knows that 72 > 3. As expected the trolls came out with plenty of excuses.
Excuses like Wilt played against 6'5" centers, or less talented players was easy to prove as ridiculous. Other excuses were so outlandish that I would ask the culprits if they ever heard of Google, laugh and keep it moving.
In addition, when countless fans continued to say that Michael Jordan was 6-0 and a greater winner than Wilt Chamberlain had to be addressed. Granted, Jordan won six championships and Wilt Chamberlain won twice. This made Jordan 6 - 9 for his career, not 6 - 0. In his first 7 years Jordan tried to win but got thrashed and sent home. At that time Dr.J, Moses Malone, Isiah Thomas, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parrish, Magic Johnson, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar (All Top 75) were in their primes. Make no mistake, Jordan was at his best at the time, and his 'Airness' got dismissed - FACTS.
In 1991 Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls defeated the aging Los Angeles Lakers and he won his first NBA championship. Kareem Abdul Jabbar had retired, and a 31 year old Magic Johnson would announce that he had HIV soon after the NBA Finals ended. Jordan defeated future Hall of Famers that were non-winners. Enough said.
In comparison, Wilt Chamberlain faced the infamous Boston Celtic Dynasty teams 12 of his 13 professional seasons. These Celtic teams had Bill Russell and eight (8) other HOFs. For the record, that is 3 times a Lebron James Big 3 collaberation.
This is why Wilt Chamberlain could drop several 50 point games (high of 62 points), and numerous 40 rebound games (high of 55 rebounds) on Bill Russell, and still lose. Realistically speaking, that is what should happen when 9 HOFs compete against 3 HOFs. In fact, the two times Wilt's teams won were two of the greatest upsets in sports history!!!
In conclusion, anyone that still calls Bill Russell the G.O.A.T after reading the last paragraph should go to rehab. The hard drugs have taken control. Those that still think Michael Jordan is the G.O.A.T are living a lie. That is their peragotive and I could not care less if I tried. Nothing they can say will change the fact that 72 is greater than 3 (72 > 3).
* The Top 30 players of each position have been revealed within the pages of Basketball G.O.A.T (below). This was done with the use of the Player Valuation Numeric (PVN). It is both accurate and objective. In addition, the formula is so easy to understand that even a 5th grader can use it. For more information click the link below.
