Wilt averaged 17.7 ppg, 19.2 rpg & 4.5 apg with the Lakers. Wilt averaged 27.6 ppg, 23.9 rpg & 6.8 apg with the 76ers Wilt averaged 41.5 ppg, 25.1 rpg & 3.0 apg with the Warriors It’s worth noting that in the 112 games where Wilt’s block totals were recorded, he averaged 8.8 per game with a high of 26! He also had super long arms and was great at poking the ball away from opponents, especially on entry passes. So he got a lot of steals. I’d say if you turned Wilt Chamberlain loose to play as he did with the Warriors for his entire 13 year career, and assume some slowing as he hit his mid 30’s. you’d be looking at final career numbers that would look something like… 35-40 ppg, 20-22 rpg, 4-5 apg, 7-8 bpg 4-5 spg.
What you’re forgetting is the fact he played in the fastest era, and averaged 45 mpg for his career. Wilt at 35 would have the most mpg in the game today because of how slow it is. All of the stats that he achieved would be dwarfed by what he could do today. He’d probably average 60+ ppg because he had great range and there’s 3p now, average 30 rpg because nobody is as fast or strong as he is at that size, 15 bpg because of his length and jumps, he led the league in assist totals at 8.6 pg, and recorded a quint according to Harvey Pollack. You’d have a guy averaging a trip for all games and maybe a quad for a season if he wanted to.
@@thepineapplesmustbevanquis4509 how would he fill the stat sheet more in a slower era? if there are way more possessions in the era in which he played in
he didn’t have great range relative to the nba actually , he was a below average free throw shooter so there’s no indication that he would be a good three point shooter
@@jioreyes5838 there actually is proof that he would be a good 3 point shooter because there’s a video of him on the lakers when he was around 37 or 38 in practice just messing around swishing 3 pointers 3 times in a row. so imagine if 3 point shooting was a big part of the game in his era you don’t think he would be a elite 3 point shooter? cmon now wilt would be a monster with 3pt shooting
@@jioreyes5838 you gotta understand it’s not just possessions it’s how much minutes he played as well so if he average 48.5 mpg from 1961-1961 and mind you that was the fastest the game has ever been and it wasn’t close. so if you put him in to todays nba he would most likely average 56.6 mpg. also every center in todays league is a huge mismatch today because we all know the centers are just some jokes in todays league. I feel like wilt would also make these centers try to play in his fast pace era which we know isn’t possible but he will outrun these centers and make them huff and puff nonstop.
