Greg Oden just flagrantly fouled Blake Griffin. As Blake collected himself they showed Oden standing around. My wife walked in, saw the slo-mo of Oden fouling Griffin, and wondered out loud why LeBron James would foul like that. I explained to her that it was actually Greg Oden, who resembles James, when they momentarily showed both Oden and James standing next to each other… and her mind was totally blown."Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."

Doc Rivers is getting the same production out of the Clippers that Vincent Of The Black was getting. Can we finally stop calling Doc a great coach and just admit that Danny Ainge handed Doc some lightning in a bottle, and he's essentially the same average NBA coach that he was in 2007?Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

Originally posted by Joe Public View PostWilt Chamberlain doesn't belong in the discussion? Oscar Robertson doesn't belong in the discussion?Originally posted by Donuthole View PostNo. Neither is even in the top 5.Originally posted by Joe Public View PostI won't run down his resume here, but I give Wilt a place in the discussion. That's based on statistics and commentary from others; he was before my time.
Which five do you definitively place above him?Originally posted by Donuthole View PostJordan, Kobe, LeBron, Russell and Kareem are the easy ones. I'd probably also place Magic, Bird and Shaq ahead of him, and potentially Duncan and Hakeem.Originally posted by The_Douger View PostWilt is.Originally posted by The_Douger View PostYou could go ask Kareem and Russell and they'd both tell you Wilt was better than them. Wilt averaged 30 ppg and 23 boards per game for his career. Nobody's even close to that. Could you imagine if they kept track of blocks then?
Kobe better than Wilt? LOL
The top three are Wilt, Lebron, and MJ.Originally posted by wapiti View PostWilt is top 4 with Jordan, LeBron, and Russell. Magic, Bird, Kareem, and Shaq are the next tier with Kobe, Duncan, and big O on tier 3.
I don't think history will be kind to Kobe's legacy. When his stat sheet lines up against the others on this list nothing stands out. Kobe landed in the ideal situation: coach, teammates, location, etc. Switch Kobe's situation with Dominique Wilkins and the results may have been similar.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostLol. Go look at the quote MG bumped before you get too excited about Wilt. His stats are inflated by pace in his era and that fact that nobody could shoot. Also he was facing off against a bunch of 6-7 centers each night.
I'd like to see those quote where Russell and Kareem say Wilt was better than them. Maybe (maybe) they said that, but it's lip service, at best. Russell owned Wilt. Owned him.

I just get tired of people denigrating Wilt's career because he was bigger than everyone. There's been plenty of huge guys to come through the NBA that were stiffs and didn't have anything near the athletic ability of a Wilt or Shaq.
I used to have this argument with my roommate at BYU. He used to say how Shaq had no basketball skills and was only good because he was big. So, I'd always ask him why Ostertag wasn't any good, or Jim McLavaine, or Shawn Bradley and he was just say Shaq was bigger than all those guys, nevermind he was a much better athlete than all those guys as well.Will donate kidney for B12 membership.
