Not that my age even matters here, but I’ve seen Shai, Stockton, Payton, CP3 etc etc live and I can comfortably say Shai is better than all of em..you’re just too much of a hater to see it

i haven’t looked into it but i assume for wilt it just casually happened because he averaged 40 without him chasing it

SGA is down 20 with 15pts and foulbaits to get to 20 before going to the bench, still an incredible player but if wilt cared he for sure would have 400 with the absolutely absurd stats he had

shai has quite a few games where he ends up with 20-26, what im saying is if wilt gave a shit about scoring 20 a night he would, because he averaged 30% more points than shai did during this period

I feel like this is a very reasonable take. Like we don’t care about anyone’s ten point streak except LeBron. I think it’s fair to say Wilt probably didn’t care about his twenty point streak. It’s hard to imagine him losing that if he really wanted to keep it going.

Lmao, I beg you to look at some of wilts tape. There are several instances of wilt catching his teammates’ jumpshots before they enter the rim so that he could put it in the rim himself and claim the two points (this was before goal-tending, iirc

He’s quite literally the definition of a statpadder, and there were several articles/reports from when he played accusing him of being such.

he’s got a long way to go before even getting close to the conversation.

Needs more chips, more mvps, scoring titles, needa a lot more defensive first teams and all nbas, at least one dpoy and most importantly, he has to meaningfully change the game and be a leader spreading the game globally.

Thats who MJ was. That’s who curry and LeBron are.

Slight tangent - personally, I think curry entered the goat conversation with their 2022 chip and reaffirmed his place in the conversation with the Olympics. Without curry, we probably lose to Serbia. And with a team that has LeBron and KD on it, that’s a crazy thing to say.

I do believe by the end of his career, Shai will have a resume comparable to Kobe. But, he has a very, very long way to go.
