Wilt is the most overrated player, and biggest stat-padder, in NBA history. I have Bill Russell over him at #5, while Wilt is #9.

Stars, all stars, superstars… 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 Thunder Up

The current Celtics have Brown, Tatum and Kristops. Now everyone would argue Porzingis is not a “Superstar”, however he did come to the NBA with “superstar potential” and “hype”. He has yet to fully reach his maximum potential but he’s also been setback by injuries and despite still he’s still had great numbers when he plays and can stay healthy. He at least completes that ratio if you had Brown and Tatum. But since KD and Warriors the Celtics have been the most successful.

Wilt was led when Kareem came into the league

Wait he called Kobe and Shaq the best duo, and then called Jordan and Pippen the best. Which is it?

Idea: how about we take away a point from the opposing team for each steal or block? Imagine a game winning block or a steal?

Even if he disagreed with Kyrie and said something about how he didn’t mean any disrespect by it but he stands by what he did as his form of art--that would be better than saying: “box me” Jesus.

i wouldn't necessarily consider the first three-peat bulls a superteam, since it's mostly a superstar duo that happens to be surrounded by really good role players (similar to the 2020 lakers), although you could bring the second three-peat bulls into consideration due to getting a former all-star/all-defensive/perennial rebound leader in rodman, but others may counter that by saying that rodman was more of a "fringe all-star"

i've always thought that the superteam era has been over since 2019 and the notion of the "dynamic duo era" is right

It’s awful you have to bring politics into ball, your type loved Elon until he bought twitter and allowed free speech.

I remember those back to back game winners in the Bulls vs. Cavs 2nd round series in 15’, totally underrated series. I couldn’t believe it.

Next video should be the lebron paradox

You just naming Russell is a little disingenuous..... isn't that entire celtics starting 5 in the HOF?

Still tired of Shaq. And Chuck.

Warriors were not a "Super Team" home grown talent. Made one big FA signing in Durant...Are the Suns a Super team? Were the Nets? Warriors won again without him. Only thing Super about the Warriors is Steph's greatness

In fairness Wade was labeled a point his rookie season. Side note LeBron played his rookie season as a shooting guard.

Nobody likes Goliath! Wilt Chamberlain

It's not nice to pick on the mentally disabled, Jacob.

Stick to the positive stuff. Negative is always bias

I recommend Ben Taylor's book "Thinking Basketball" for making this point much more clearly. There is a big difference between being an efficient high-volume scorer and being an efficient high-volume creator. With only a very few exceptions, the teams with the best offense are driven by efficient high-volume creators, not efficient high-volume scorers.

NBA need to be more like the NFL,I. The NFL market doesn't mean shit lol ,NFL is more culture driven , before the Lakers dynasty there was no caring about a market ,NBA need to move on from the super markets and focus on something else

Kevin Durant without doubt is one of the greatest players to lace em up. However, most of the criticism he’s taken are from people who believe in his capabilities, and become disappointed if he doesn’t meet those expectations. KD(although not as bad as he once was) made things worse when he plays the victim, and lashes out at anyone holding him to the standards of greatness.

Those of us that actually watched Wilt play may have different opinions.

30 years ago or so Pat Riley when asked what his perfect team would be , he said a team of 5 players all 6’9 that could run , shoot & rebound . It’s came to pass for the most part.

You are one dumb son of a bitch. You do not understand the game of basketball. So just shut the fuck up. You're nothing but a bean counter. Winning is about heart. You don't look like a basketball player to me. Just go away now. Anybody ever looked you and said win the game for us now? Nobody has ever said that to you!

Amazing video, don't know how I just found it now. THANK YOU ❤

Chris Bosh’s career being cut short by health issues is still the saddest thing to happen in the nba

Wilt was the first superstar Rusty, offenses, schemes etc had to evolve, they had to figure out how to succeed with a player like that. It has never been done before.

not as good as Bill Russell doesn't mean you are a loser. Wilt had a great overall record and his teams were generally in the hunt. If he was a loser so was Jerry West and Oscar Robertson.

I appreciate the video but mr. Rusty buckets...looks, sounds, and gives off douchebag vibes... I'm sure if i was doing something similar, it'd be easy to criticize. Yet, old school ball players were tough and the shit. This dude just seems like "I'll do this so i don't have to work!" mommy and daddy are paying for my apartment/bills/ food ..never done an actual day of work in his life.. talking about all these athletes and buddy probably lucky to have done a couple sit-ups ...hunched shoulders...

A Back-to-Back Champion is also dominant. Maybe even more than a Dynasty who wins every other year. Kobe’s Back-to-Back titles seems more dominant than the Spurs 3 titles in 6 years

If you go back and actually watch what complete games are available of Wilt in his prime, its actually shocking how little impact he seems to be having on the moment to moment flow of the game. It sounds crazy and when you hear people talk about him who were around then or are sports experts they make him sound so dominant, but honestly in the games I've seen of him its always the most unnoticeable statistical dominance I've ever seen. I distinctly remember being confused in watching a few of his games where the announcers said his points and rebounds in like the 3rd quarter and being shocked that he had so many because I specifically was watching the game to see him dominate and never saw anything that made me think he was controlling the game at all. Thats not to say he wasn't good or valuable, but his minute by minute impact is not accurately represented by his stats or highlights.

America is the least racist place in thr world. According to the prosperity if our black ppl compared to the rest of the world's black ppl. Ur a beta npc.

Stack up all the metrics against the opinions of people who were in the game during that time. I'll go with the latter.

Being the league that is most likely to get political hasn't helped, but I suppose thats a mOuTh BrEaThEr take.

The bucks might loose their greatest player in franchise history next year.

look up king, the nut is dripping

61-62 Warriors all stars: Wilt, Pail Arizin, Tom Gola. (Al Attles and Guy Rodgers made Hall of Fame.) 61-62 Celtics all stars: Russell, Cousy, Heinsohn, Sam Jones. (Tom Sanders, K.C. Jones, and Frank Ramsey made Hall of Fame. Look I'm not disrespecting the OG big guard Tom Gola but to equate him to a guy like Bob Cousy is crazy. Paul Arizin outdoes Sam Jones, but the Celtics had a great forward defender in Tom Sanders who was never an all star. Just look at the positional matchups: PG: Guy Rodgers vs. Bob Cousy SG: Tom Gola vs. Sam Jones SF: Paul Arizin vs. Tom Sanders PF: Tom Meschery vs. Tom Heinsohn C: Wilt vs. Russell The Celtics win every position except SF and arguably C. None of Wilt's Warriors teams were anywhere near the Celtics in terms of overall talent. His Sixers teams were on level with Wilt, Billy Cunningham, Chet Walker, and Hal Greer, but the Celtics had one of the greatest coaches ever, legendary chemistry, and "ring chaser" veterans joining them by that time. Certainly Kobe's post-Shaq pre-Pau Lakers were worse than Wilt's Warriors. But then, thise teams also did worse in the standings.

How are you using stats to discredit him in the playoffs, but then say the stats didn't matter when his production was cut in half the year he peaked? Sloppy af.

The narrative of MJ's 'failures' in the '80's is off. The Celtics and Lakers from '83 to ' 89 weren't just good teams - they were considered the GREATEST teams of all time. NOBODY was beating them. The Pistons weren't too far behind. The Pistons in your Division, the Celtics in your Conference, you ain't going nowhere.

No, Greatest point guard ever

I loved this and I have to say you were more generous than I was with the championships because I realistically just gave them one and there’s also a key aspect that even Kobe said would’ve happened if the Lakers held on to Shaq and that was Kobe would’ve walked and left for Chicago. Plus what if Phil Jackson stayed retired and they didn’t have the triangle offense to thrive off of.

I'd say playing in 13,003 games alone makes Elvin Hayes one of the most underrated players... not many can lay claim to a 160 season career

if Sonic the Hedgehog was a basketball player, he would be Russell Westbrook.

When the cavs had lebron, he dominated, lots of times the other players stood and watched, it didnt matter if you were a all star type when joining the cavs, because you never got as many touches, the other stars always took a hit in the stat department, the less lebron scored the more the ball was shared, and the better the team was, kyrie was the best star that had great numbers too, guys like kyle korver, a great outside shooter didnt get many looks with lebron and his massive ego around, wally cszerbiak , a great shooter too , barely got a chance, this is why the really good players avoided cleveland

There were only 2 other 7 fts playing then, wilt had a huge advantage, playing today, theres no way he dominates like he did then, hed be good but not the best, he was a ball hog, ego maniac, a total me first player

they were many talented players in the 70s walt frazier, willis reed dave cowens john havilcheck jojo white and it’s funny you say no one challenged kareem but left out the guy who actually beat him for the MVP bob mcadoo. yea maybe just leave the old basketball history up to other youtubers like jonny arnett. everything 2010s and up is fine but pleas don’t speak so recklessly about eras you clearly lack knowledge on.

Honestly, I never gave the smallest of a fuck about the value of the league or the viewership, I'm not directly involved in it, so I don't care. I know it sounds a bit ignorant, but all I care, as a fan, is watching great basketball from time to time and acceptable basketball most of the time. I think that if they make a few tweaks (officiating, trade rules i.e. not allowing a team to use 15 million picks in a trade) it should be fine. I would also like to see the regular season dropping to 60 games and having more games in European countries. A Nuggets game in Belgrade or a Bucks game in Athens would be a sight to see. I like Adam Silver as a commisioner more than David Stern as he feels like a governor/manager rather than a dictator and I hope he'll improve the overall product.

Rusty Cuckets

I knew this was going to be a whiny gay tirade
