Kobe Bryant picks all-time NBA team
Sccit:
kareem in his prime was a much better scorer, rebounder, and was no slouch on d either (11 time nba all-defense).
as for wilt vs kareem, wilt had the 50 ppg season in 1962, but he shot 50% from the field, compared to kareem's 35 ppg season in 1972 on 57%, which i'd say is equally impressive, eras and efficiency considered.

Like I said, watching prime-Wilt going against prime-Kareem would be the ultimate battle for "The Greatest Center Of All-Time" spot. It's funny that you mentioned FG% in this argument in favor of Kareem, yet when it comes to Kobe-Jordan efficiency you immediately decline that stuff :)

kobe jordan is different...kobe shot more threes cuz he had better range, which automatically lowers overall efficiency. kareem actually had more range than wilt, which should make his efficiency lower, but it didn't. kareem was the ultimate scoring center....could hit free throws, too.

Exactly - so you can't blame everything on range in every debate, that's my point. Range is one thing - shot selection and efficiency is another thing.

no, u cant....but when some1 shoots twice as many threes, it's safe to say their percentage will naturally be lower.
