I agree 100%! In a 142 games head to head Wilt averaged 28.7 points and 28.7 rebounds and Russell averaged 14.5 points and 23.7 rebounds.

Chamberlain never said russell could shut him down. Russell never shut down chamberlain he won cuz he had great teammates.

Yeah, but. In fact, Jordan averaged about 50% more rebounds per game than Pistol Pete did, had a much higher field goal percentage, and scored almost 6 points per game more than the Pistol (which is almost 20% more points per game).

Actually, that's true. But I will point out that Pistol Pete, after traded to the Jazz, led his team in Points, Rebounds, and Assists. So, yes, there are other stats than scoring, and Pete still led his team in them.

If Red said Pete is a god, Pete is god.

Unbelievable

Invidually I think they are the same. If they play one-on-one ten times, I think they will tie all ten. MJ had Pipen, Horace, Paxson, KuKoc and Rodman. Pete never had anyone. A lot of guys are ranked the same in my head. Like MJ, Wilt, Bill, Doc, Bird, Magic, Isiah and so on so forth. I just had a discussion with someone here whether Shaq is superior to Wilt and I reply that they are of the same rank with some evidence.

All that I can think of while watching this is Frank Caliendo's impression of him

what the hell,chamberlain said in an interview he was better then russel,the thing is that russel had a better team,that what chamb said,and russel played in a weaker era without a doubt,and jordan played in one of the hardest eras of the nba and won 72 games with his team including dominanting the playoff and winning a ring and finals mvp
