I would say his greatest accomplishment is being an NBA HAll of Famer. However, your point is well taken. He must have been damn good to be traded for Bill Russell who lead USF to 2 NCAA titles.

It doesn't work like that. Wilt was once traded for Paul Neumann, Connie Dierking, Lee Shaffer.

I don't look at everyone from yesteryear and automatically assume they can't play in the modern era like some people do.

For instance stars like Arizin and Dolph Schayes are legit, IMO, because they succeeded after the shot clock, when teams started running up and down the floor, playing at a faster tempo than the current Golden State Warriors.

But Ed McCauley was a rail-thin post player.

Glad everyone was so excited about my pick because this draft has been a bit boring. Easy Ed livened it up. I dont care if the guy can play today. That wasnt the purpose of this draft in my mind. Anyway.. cheers. Over and OUT.

Dolph Schayes in the modern era would look like...Danny Schayes.

Yeah, they were running up and down the court, but against who? That's why Wilt was so dominant. He was ahead of his time, which is why he put up such ungodly numbers.

Dolph Schayes was making All-NBA teams against the likes of Elgin Baylor, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, and Jerry West. You have to be good to be mentioned in the same breath as those guys.

No he wasn't.

But I will grant you that it takes talent to be a big man that shoots 38% from the field and still make the Hall of Fame.

No you don't. Watch this. Pantstickle is good enough to be on NinerJohn's team, but he's no Elgin Baylor, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, or Jerry West. He's more like Ed Macauley.

I meant those were his contemporaries.

But yeah he couldn't shoot, nobody from that era could shoot.

Yeah, he played with them, but as soon as those guys entered the league they dominated the All-NBA teams because they were the ones that ushered in the modern era and began to push the inferior talent out of the league.

Chamberlain, West, Baylor, Robertson, Russell = Homosapiens
Schayes, Mikkelsen, McCauley, Twyman = Cro-Magnon Man

Um, Dolph was still making All-NBA teams with those guys in the league.

2nd team, behind them.

He made it ahead of Russell in Russell's first two years...that's it.
With the 446th pick, the Sacramento Kings select...

Jerome Kersey, forward from Longwood University



Best season: 1987-1988 - 19.2 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 3.1 apg, 1.6 spg

Top 50 all-time in games played, steals, and offensive rebounds.

This comes from someone who ruined a perfectly good team by selecting Avery Johnson in the 11th round. Plus,I told you that you were too geeky to be on my team.
