it's a team sport
Basketball is the most individual driven sport to play besides Soccer
>Basketball is the most individual driven sport
>besides Soccer
it's still a team sport. nobody can drag a bunch of bums to the finals and win unless you are hakeem or dirk
Neither could put it away when it mattered
Iverson was overrated
because both of them were overrated ballhogs
also
>two best scorers in NBA history
lol
lmao even
Iverson was an inefficient chucker. Wilt was only with them for like 3 years. He got one title during that time, at least.
Played on a team with no floor spacing as a undersized guard and shot 44.5% from mid range during his prime (1997-2006) while taking the highest volume of shots in the league. When he was in Denver his average went up to 47.5% from mid range.
76ers are probs the worst run team in the city.
This is why I don't get people always clowning the celtics for having just 1 ring in 34 years or some shit when most of the time post larry bird it was basketball hell, meanwhile the Sixers have had lucked into some of the best players in history, from Barkley to Iverson to Embiid, along with Butler, Harden, all MVP talents and their last ring was still from 1983.
it's ridiculous that people rate Wilt still when Bill mogged him every year in the same era
bill was on a superteam in rigged plumber era
>everyone else sucked in the league when Bill played
>except Wilt who was the best scorer ever
>even though he could bever beat Bill
The redpill is the 1960s was the strongest era ever for basketball and no refball BS that we have today since the league didn't see any commercial investment into the NBA.
"Wilt is playing 1v5" was the narrative in the 60s too, but it was refuted in 1969 when Russell beat Chamberlain to win his 11th ring while Jerry West (Wilt's teammate) was Finals MVP.
Big O putting up westbrick numbers
there were only 10 teams back then, they were all super teams dummy
>Mogged him
1961-62: BOS (1) > PHW (2) in the ECF Game 7 (Celtics win by 2 points)
1964-65: BOS (1) > PHI (3) in the ECF Game 7 (Celtics win by 1 point)
1967-68: BOS (2) > PHI (1) in the ECF Game 7 (Celtics win by 4 points)
1968-69: BOS (4) > LAL (1) in the NBA Finals - Game 7 (Celtics win by 2 points)
If you want to argue more for Russell, we can go back even further
>1956-57: Boston > Atlanta in Game 7 of the NBA Finals (Celtics win by 2 points)
>1958-59: Boston > Philly in Game 7 of the ECF Finals (Celtics win by 4 points)
>1961-62: Boston > Lakers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals (Celtics win by 3 points)
>1965-66: Boston > Lakers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals (Celtics win by 2 points)
Russell literally only won 5 of his championships by the skin of his fricking teeth.
>Russell literally only won 5 of his championships by the skin of his fricking teeth.
that just proves the drive to win is the most important attribute
Two of the most overrated players of all time, so it makes sense when you really think about it.
because you posted to egotistical score firsters who didn't do what is needed to actually win
