That same year Wilt averaged 48.5 MPG, he also averaged 50 PPG and 25 RPG. I don't think there will ever be an NBA era where that statline wouldn't stand out like a giant redwood tree in Nebraska.
AC Green is probably the one and only previous generation(s) player who LOVES the load management approach so popular today because it means his iron man record will never even be threatened let alone broken.
To be fair to Larry Bird, Steph has been practicing threes his entire life with a legendary 3-point shooter while Larry had the 3-point line created in his first year in the league
Also, the 3 wasn't a regular part of the game back then. THE WHOLE TEAM would only attempt like three 3-pointers the entire game in the 80's. Now, it's like half the shots.
@@thebasketballhistorian3291 a lot of that is thanks to Curry though. Teams would not attempt a lot of 3s in like the mid 2000s (not as few as the 80s but not nearly as much as now)
@@boi4324 a lot of former greats wouldn’t be good enough to last in this era. That doesn’t discount their talent. When you do greatest of all time lists you also have to account for greatness and domination of their generation
Wilt Chamberlain MPG 1961-62: 40:00 x 1g (Despite reports that he missed 8 minutes 33 seconds of the game, he was credited with an even 40 minutes played) 48:00 x 72g (3,456) 53:00 x 5g (1 OT period) 58:00 x 1g (2 OT periods) 63:00 x 1g (3 OT periods) __________________________ 3,882 / 80 = 48.525 The 7 games that went into at least 1 OT accounted for an extra 50 minutes of game time, and he only lost 8 minutes due to his ejection, so he essentially played 81 full games' worth of time that season. In fact, if there had been 81 games that season, his MPG average would have been 47.925(repeating).
How come young guys in the 50’s and 60’s looked like their rookie pics were in their actual 50’s and 60’s? Like look at Riley. Dude looked like he had a mortgage and 5 adult children his draft year.
"Steph shot more threes in a year than Larry Bird's entire career" The NBA didn't have a three point line until Larry Bird's rookie year, 1979. Steph is a specialist in something that most guys didn't really care about back then.

And played against End of MJ peak and Leak of LeBron, and End of Peak MJ is better than best version of LeBron. KG feared the MJ that wasn't even the best version of MJ.
Yeah, but all-stars are selected mid-season. So they are almost more about the previous season(s). Every now and then you get a guy that just had a fast start and you wonder how that player ended up on an all-star team in the first place. Even more true once they changed the rules to mean every (baseball) team had to have at least one all-star on it.
Actually mind blown the Magic have not retired any numbers for their own players. At least retire Nick Anderson's # who gave them 10 years. Or Penny Hardaway, just 6 years but he helped put that franchise on a map. Even an argument can be made for McGrady and Shaq: just 4 years each but they made the Magic super popular at the time.
People keep talking about how offenses are better and defenses are worse now, statistically. But offensive and defensive rating are both drawing from the same number - points scored per game. So if the league’s average offensive rating goes up, its average defensive rating goes down by precisely the same amount. So… you can’t use these numbers to compare quality of offense or defense across eras, only the gap in quality between offense and defense WITHIN an era. Dear NBA RUclipsrs and ESPN, please stop pulling implications out of your asses based on what is essentially a mathematical seesaw working as intended.
Oh statistically speaking today's nba would not have anything on yesterday's nba because players of yesterday's nba didnt get away with carrying the ball or traveling.
