Thanks, Z-man. Totally serious. Never had the pleasure to watch Wilt play but the legend is compelling in so many ways narrative and by the numbers. Thought there was another wrinkle there in terms of legacy since the legacy of Jokic feels tangible as he marches through the tides. He is the greatest offensive talent of his day, and Curry just heydayed. I guess I feel like his exploits could be relegated to era if he doesn’t win some chips.

Charlotte is a good defensive rebounding team and shoots well from three. That sounds like trouble for us.

Suggs was ejected in the 2nd but still had 11 assists. He feels on the verge of being unlocked, then watchout.

Wilt, even at the skill level he had in the ’60s which was limited by the constraints of how C’s were allowed to play and not having the Birds, Magics, or Jordans to emulate, would still surely have been a multiple-time MVP in today’s game. Probably not setting the absurd records he did back then, and certainly not playing 48 minutes a game, but surely a 2-way monster.

I can imagine him as a taller, faster, longer, stronger, more agile, and more skilled version of Giannis.

hmm… that would be a pretty decent player, eh. 🙂

That Wizards score should serve as a cautionary tale for the Knicks tomorrow. Charlotte is reporting no injuries so while they’re still not very good and Knicks should score at will against them the Hornets will put up a shitload of pts too on the Knicks if they don’t come ready to play some defense.

Wizards put a hurtin’ on the Hawks, CJ went off and Sarr with an excellent game.

Clarence, although I’m thinking it’s not a serious question, I’ll treat it as such.

It wasn’t until later in Wilt’s career that he both came to realize that he needed to make his teammates better and had championship-level teammates. So whether Jokic would win 2 or more championships would depend on his teammates, and whether they could get by the Celts, a talented and high-IQ team with a great coach and the ultimate sports champion in Bill Russell.

Wilt had some bad injury luck that probably cost him two championships. He got hurt in Game 7 against the Celts in 1968 (there is controversy over whether he could have returned down the stretch) and in 1970 he made a miraculous comeback from a torn patellar tendon which caused him to miss nearly the entire season, and Elgin Baylor was pretty washed. He gets a bad rap for not dominating Game 7 vs. a hobbled Reed, but his teammates were just as much to blame if not more, as Wilt had 21 points on 62.5% shooting and 24 rebounds (he did go 1-11 from the FT line, though!) But he was nowhere near 100% at that time.
