I think it's disrespectful to compare this era with the old school era. This era is waaaaaaaaaaaay more futuristic in basketball terms than Wilt's era. Wilt averaged 50.4 ppg back in the 60's. I think he'd still average about 30 or so ppg these days, but he wouldn't score 100 points in one game... Unless he was playing the Knicks again. I bet he would've dropped 200 points on the Knicks of today's era.Anyway, my point is, back in the day, it was easier to score and play D because not a lot of people knew the fundamentals of basketball. Also, it didn't matter back in the day about who was guarding who. People didn't keep track about blocks and steals, so nobody thought of those two defensive stats as counting as much anyway.Wilt is still (imo) the G.O.A.T. I believe he would have been great in today's era, but not "WILT CHAMBERLAIN" great. You see the difference?
