Not that big of a deal since the playoffs have more games and rounds than they did then. Still, LeBron had a great game. The rest of the Heat... meh.

Well I'll be. Funny, Chamberlain was a regular season beast, but I did not know he SUCKED in the playoffs.
As for Baylor, after 6 years he had that knee surgery and didn't do what he could. Never knew Jerry West was such a beast in the playoffs, wow!
Still, from what I saw, Heat sucked yesterday and LeBron carried that team.
This year, Heat win because LeBron is too good, next year the Heat wouldn't make it to the Finals because the Heat are breaking down.

lol@wilt sucking in the playoffs......this guy averaged 23 points and 25 rebounds in post-season games, and most those games came when he was out his prime. smfh, how many other players have averaged 20-20+ in the playoffs for their entire career.

Compared to averaging 30-50ppg though, he dropped off every year. Players like Jordan or Kobe's averages improved in the playoffs. Not saying he sucked, but he was not as productive in the post season as the regular season. Of course not as productive is relative, he went from 50ppg one year, to 35ppg, or 34.7ppg to 29.3ppg. Rebounding went up and assist were about the same. But at the end of the day, points took a drop. Might be free throws, it looks like free throws went down in the regular season, without watching film other than the 1969 Finals, might be more fouls, or the fact that he spent most of his time in the east and had to play Bill Russell more. Not sure.
Hack Wilson - real:
the year Wilt averaged 50 PPG in the regular season he played 12 playoff games and averaged 35
that is a significant drop off and if anyone tries to argue otherwise they are wrong. Shows what playing against Bill Russell can do to you.
Hack Wilson - real:
2013 Playoff Points Per Game
1. Kevin Durant-OKC 30.8
2. Carmelo Anthony-NYK 28.8
3. James Harden-HOU 26.3
4. LeBron James-MIA 25.6
5. Stephen Curry-GSW 23.4
6. Tony Parker-SAS 23.0
7. Chris Paul-LAC 22.8
8. Brook Lopez-BRK 22.3
9. Ty Lawson-DEN 21.3
10. Deron Williams-BRK 20.6
where's D-wade and Chris Bosh? I thought they were "franchise players" ;D

competition used to tighten drastically in the playoffs back in those days. to say he sucked in the playoffs is still insane, tho
M Dogg™:
Sucked was not the best word, but I meant it as a relative comparison. Most great player's production went up in the playoffs, including Jerry West who played in that era. Wilt though had many series against the Celtics and had to get past Russell. Going against Russell would hurt Chamberlain in the long run.
I wish Baylor had modern sports medicine in his era. Baylor only had 6-8 really prime years. Once knee injuries hit, he was never the same. Baylor was the man, and we never saw what he could have done back then. Imagine if Baylor could have had the knee regeneration treatment that Kobe had, instead of surgery that actually removed part of his knee cap. LeBron has already had more prime years than Baylor, so passing Baylor doesn't surprise me as much.
