Probably because his peak was in the 70’s where, respectfully, there were less super duper stars than when Jordan or LeBron played.

Still a solid 3rd for me.

I agree he probably slots into third, but the lack of him in the discussion is always a bit "disrespectful"

Either Magic or Duncan for me for fourth to complete the Mount Rushmore

Sight tangent - I hate the whole Mt. Rushmore thing. I’d rather just go with a top 5 like a normal person.

Well that's my top 5.

Bird, Shaq, Russell, Wilt, Kobe / The Dream to finish up the top 10

Probably forgetting someone

The goat debate would have been very different if The True Goat (Wilton Norman Chamberlain) was still alive. Wilt would have destroyed all the wrong myths about his era including so called experts who try to dimish his accomplishments.

Bro!!! I say this all the time. How does Lebron just skip over Kareem like that.

Even worse how Jordan fans completely threw Wilt out of the discussion after his death. The Goat debate would have been very very different if Wilt was still alive. Jordan would have never been hailed as sort of undisputed Goat pre- Lebron if Wilt never died.

Rings matter?

Plus the Wilt / Russell era may have been a tad too early?

Statistically though, yes he was the Bradman of the sport in his prime.

Wilt was definitely leading the argument pre- Jordan era and the discussion was more or less seen as between Wilt and Mike before Wilt died. Interesting how Jabbar actually leapfrogged ahead of Wilt after his death and Magic too by majority, some have even Bird ahead.

Wilt’s competition seem to be the best way to diminish him which is just pure nonsense. Kinda of a propaganda thrown by Jordan’s fans after Wilt died. Ofc the 30 best players of a position of Jordan’s time are better than 30 best of Wilt’s days. But only 8-12 made the league in Wilt’s time, the average center Wilt faced would be no worse than the average Shooting Guard Jordan faced.

Wilt is up there as well, if only for the fact that he was so dominant and was the reason for so many rule changes. And Wilts 50 ppg for a season is as absurd as anything Bradman has done in cricket if not more so. A complete freak of nature !!!
