At the time of this top50 list, only Pete Maravich had passed away (just 40 years old). Now, for the top75, Paul Arizin, Elgin Baylor, Wilt Chamberlain, Dave DeBusschere, Hal Greer, John Havlicek, Sam Jones, Moses Malone, George Mikan, Dolph Schayes, Bill Sharman, Nate Thurmond, and Wes Unseld… are no longer with us. And then of course Kobe Bryant, selected now for the 75th anniversary team and not here to see it, similar to Pistol Pete (Kobe died just one year older, at 41). RIP to all of them

I think it'd be tough because post-Celtics Big 3, most younger NBA players have been on several teams as compared to 25 years ago when players stayed on one team their entire career. So they could get jackets representing those teams; Zeke could wear Pistons and Magic could wear Lakers and Jordan could wear Bulls, but what jacket would Lebron wear today? Cavs, which he spent the most time with? Heat, where he was most successful? Or Lakers, the team he currently plays for? No one jacket could adequately summarize players' careers today.

MJ was so humble and respected Wilt. Wilt was a presence, even Pippen wondered how Wilt would be guarded. That's the same we see Jordan now. Although at that time Kareem was the name but he did not have that Alpha presence like Wilt.
@johnming73 2 жыл бұрын
To me MJ is the GOAT. But I am really biased, because I am 49 y old and grew up with him. In the whole goat discussion I only have doubts about Wilt, when it comes to comparisons with MJ. Man, he must have been a beast. If he had two more rings, he would beat MJ in that discussion imo. But I really can understand that many consider Wilt as the GOAT.

I love that magic pulls him into conversations. Makes everyone wish they had a friend as cool as magic Johnson is to Larry. Ultimately he doesn't owe Larry any respect really, but he gives up anyway cuz he's cool like that

Favourite moment - 6:55 when Wilt states he's got about a year or 2 left up his sleeve to play NBA for 10-15 minutes a game. Sadly he passed away just under 3 years later but what a incredible larger than life being. Can sense Wilt's aura in this footage...especially when he's speaking to Jordan. That moment when Wilt, the iconic mythical colossus interacts with the greatness of Jordan? That is a recorded moment that will stand the test of time.
