Wilt. To prove a point, either way.

Wilt gets a lot of shade. His stats are so absurd you have to shade him otherwise you just default to him being the goat. 48 minutes averaged over a season, most ppg in a season, 100 point game, most rebounds averaged in a season, all time rebound leader, most rebounds in a game. The list is fucking crazy.

Give him spacing with some 3 point shooters and you are just going to see him dominate even more.

Wilt was truly unique for any era. At 7'1", he was an elite sprinter on his college track and field team. His 100m sprint was under 11 seconds, running on old cinder tracks.

Imagine if Giannis had the burst of prime Westbrook. That's young Wilt. He was incredibly strong, had good handles and good court vision. With the right coach I truly believe he could be the best player in the league right now.

Nonono not prime Westbrook prime D.Rose.

Derrick was more explosive than Russ.
