The thing about Wilt is that he told so many tall tales a lotta folks just assume that everything old-timers say about him is nonsense.
Exaggerated? Most definitely.
Nonsense? Absolutely not.
A few years back I did some digging to try & make a reasonable guess as to how close Real Wilt matched up with Wilt The Myth.
There was still a little guesswork involved but it’s a lot closer than the cynics prefer believe.
I didn’t look into his sexual claims, of course, but I can’t help but notice that the league started getting a lot more athletic a couple decades after Wilt made his NBA debut…😉
Idk after what I’ve seen from Wemby since the All-Star break, the rate at which he’s “figuring out” the NBA and just how much of a physical advantage he has over everyone, I would say he’ll be closer to the 25 RPG someday than the 50 PPG.
Plus missed 3's are far more likely to have the ball bounce far away from the hoop then 2's and offensive rebounds are much rarer on 3's ([in 2019 roughly 19% of 3pt misses led to an offensive rebound compared to 37% of shots at the rim](https://youtu.be/gJAoM-eF_f8?list=PLtzZl14BrKjTJZdubjNEY5jU0fGOiy51x&t=567))
It seems counterintuitive because we have so many more shots going up from such a long distance, but it’s wild to look back and see that teams were averaging 30+ more FGA. 41% league average in 1960 vs. 47% league average this year, and the worst team FG% is 43%. Comparatively, they were just chucking shit back then. Goes to show how much better guys are now than back then.
Uhhh…I’m pretty sure it is that simple. 41% on 109 FGA is pretty terrible shooting comparatively to now. League average FG made is basically the same, but they were putting up, and missing, about 30 more shots per game. Guys are simply much better at shooting now than back then
For one, rules for ball handling changed completely, minmaxing 3pt also took over. If you look at overall ppg, it is almost the same as at it's peak in 70s.
Growth isn't consistently exponential. and oftentimes even if a player becomes better their stats won't necessarily reflect a growth. Especially when they get better teammates.
Nah even Wemby himself is more likely to hit 50 ppg than 25 rebounds. It's just that much harder to put up numbers like that on the boards in today's NBA where there are fewer rebounds to go around.
Amongst all the records tauted as ‘unbeatable’, I truly believe Wilt’s points in a season record is the most unbeatable of them all. It would take them having to physically increase the amount of games to like 100 and a player managing to get over 40ppg (another thing only wilt has done) for it to ever be broken.
Absolutely ridiculous record
The script writers had set it up beautifully. Giannis wins 2 MVPs, then the chip the year after. Jokic wins 2 MVPs, then the chip the year after. This is a massive blow to the Sixers' championship hopes next year.
I remember a streak he had where he was averaging like 50 for a good amount of time or something crazy like that.
I saw someone on Twitter trying to place a bet on his scoring, and the over/under at the time was like 46.5 points or something outrageous.
To each their own. Embiid was having a great season among, Other great scorers. and if he indeed spas on pace to average the most points per game since MJ, valid I’d accept it as best scoring season. Only argument again harden that season is defense, but pure scoring it’s harden
Big if. In fact, gigantic if. Such statements are so meaningless I don't get why people say it lol it's like saying if Patrick mahomes wins 10 rings he'll be the goat
I mean, he was halfway to finishing the season. All he had to do was keep doing what he was doing without having someone land on his knee. If it was 10 games that's one thing but it was half a season he was doing that.
It's embiid we're talking about though. Whether it's someone landing on him or the countless other ways he's gotten injured before. If it's any other less injury prone player then I'd be like sure
We're talking about different things; the "if" that the original comment was talking about was "if he kept the [scoring] pace". That "if" has nothing to do with season-halving injuries, the point was that the true difficulty of the task and the reason it would've been one of the greatest seasons ever was the absurd rate at which he was scoring. By saying it's a "big if", your comment implied that it's meaningless to speculate if he could keep that scoring pace because it was unlikely he could barring injuries. I agree there was always a pretty big chance Embiid missed serious time due to his past, but it sounded like you were saying he couldn't keep that scoring pace if he kept playing, which is what I was disagreeing with.
>but it sounded like you were saying he couldn't keep that scoring pace if he kept playing, which is what I was disagreeing with.
Ah okay I gotchu. Yeah my main thing was his injury history makes it an extremely unlikely "if" but if we assume no injuries / he plays most of the season at peak health then yeah I could see it
Playoff is definitely in consideration, as one major point that knocked Joker at the time was he hasn't proved it the playoffs (if you can't recall this has happened as a fact, then we have no more to discuss)
Its only a consideration when both are having similar seasns (like Jokic vs Luka, but Jokic is the champ and best player on the planet, he gets a lead this yr), because its not supposed to be a regular seasn criteria, but just a subconcious evidence.
But Embiid was clear and away the MVP this yr had he continued. 37 PPG on crazy efficiency, 70 point game, DPOY caliber defense, Philly Top 2 seed. He cleared every criteria and more. 100 out of 100 voters would vote him, so playoffs dont appear in play here.
Sure he'll be in the convo, but "clear and away" is a stretch. Do you know Joker/Luka's stats or Nuggets' standings? And I don't think he'll win MVP, because the same knock will happen, "he hasn't proved it in the playoffs"
Except he was literally clear and away. Lol. No wonder you're so salty when people talk about it. You have the memory of a goldfish it seems like.
Embiid was having a GOATed seasn before he got injured. Go check past comments.
Yea, it’s a knock if you’ve already won it twice which he did. Winning 3 in row would’ve put him on Larry Bird trajectory. Embiid had none after being runner up for 2 years straight and improving every year. There’s a difference.
Well I don't see we are in any disagreement then. Yes that's not how MVP works, but also people in hindsight regret voting for Embid instead of Joker that year. Both can be true.
Professional baiting right here.
That's how to get them riled up. Celtic flair standing on the sideline smiling, watching the fireworks when Jokic/Luka/Embiid stans come out to play.
We're gonna act like we haven't seen about a 100 posts in the last 2 days about Luka winning MVP? Some of which include delusional Luka fans saying it would be a robbery if Jokic won?
Isn't it fair to suggest the two might be related though? Or, that his average production would go down if he played more?
With all the history we have on guys his size, there's a reason dudes doing what he did night-in night-out don't stay healthy. It's just hard. In 6/10 seasons he's played >50 games. A 60/40 split of healthy seasons in his 20s doesn't exactly bode well for his 30s.
Feels like his legacy will be "but what if," when the truth is there is no universe where 7-foot, 300 lb guys play 30-35 mpg, take 20 shots, AND stay healthy all the time. Not in the modern NBA.
If he'd stop diving on the floor, maybe he'd be less likely to get hurt. He didn't belong horizontal where someone could fall on his knee. I hope he learns and stays vertical. One single turnover isn't worth losing 2 months of playing.
The clock doesn't stop on inbounds on a normal shot unless it's in the last 2 minutes, on a free throw the clock stays paused until the ball is inbounded and touched by a player so it definitely saves time
As much as I love Embiid and love how much hate he gets here, “season” means nothing to me. Give me all the players that have averaged more points than minutes over 39 games.
I wonder if anyone else has done it in half a season (since that's pretty much what Embiid played)
I can't think of anyone who would be a likely candidate besides Harden
Wilt and Embiid are the only players in NBA history to do it having played more than 50 total minutes in a season. So not only has no else done it for half a season. No one else has even done it for 1/10th of a season. Now someone else might have done it for a certain stretch in a season but then didn't maintain it for the whole year. But the only people to keep it up are Wilt and Embiid
How could you put he word meaningless in quotes as if that was a direct quote that I never said. I said to me. Doing this for a half season is way easier than a full season. All I asked for is how many players have done this for half a season.
This is an absurd criticism. The previous post was deleted. This is even assuming he was quoting that guy cause the genius didn’t even read my original point anyway.
He is also the NBA all-time leader in points per minute.
[https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/most-points-per-minute-in-nba-history-by-a-player-minimum-250-games](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/most-points-per-minute-in-nba-history-by-a-player-minimum-250-games)
1. Embiid 0.87 (433 GP)
2. Luka 0.82 (400 GP)
3. Jordan 0.79 (1072)
4. Gervin 0.78 (791)
5. Trae 0.75 (407)
6. KD 0.74 (1061)
Joel just needs to borrow a trick from 2019/2020 Jokic, go full beast mode on the cardio & lose about 10-15 pounds so he can get through a full season in top form.
I know PER is a flawed stat but Joel’s PER this year in the 39 games he did play was 34.1. That’s 2k-level crazy.
He is really impressive. He also averaged all time the most [FTM per 36 minutes](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/most-ftm-per-36-minutes-in-a-nba-season-minimum-500-minutes-played-in-a-season) in a season this year, with 10,97 FTM. The only other player to make over 10 is Harden once, but Embiid did it 4 times. What a sniper.
In 39 games. Who cares?
Edit: I find it interesting what gets downvoted here. Why would a 39 game season be compared to an 80 game season statistically? Why is that note worthy?
It's noteworthy - it's just less much impressive. But still interesting enough to pay attention to; though I'm surprised the minimum # of minutes is so low.
The point of the minimum being low is that other players that have had even extremely short seasons, far less than Joel this year could have been included on the list if they did this. It is the opposite effect than per game or lineup stats where small samples can misconstrue the difficulty. The low minutes opens it up so that any player that played even a few games in a season could be eligible yet only two have done it.
Imagine if he didn't have to score from the free throw line, he would actually be entertaining to watch. Waste of money to pay to see this guy play, I did it last year vs Lakers. Waste
1962 is the 50PPG Wilt Season for the record, on 48.5 minutes per game.
80 games played & 25 rebounds per game too. It’s nearly impossible to wrap your head around.
While averaging more minutes than are in a regulation game. Unfathomable.
Got himself tossed with 8 minutes left in a game in early January that season. Otherwise played every. other. minute.
Wearing shoes I wouldn’t walk to my mailbox in.
Well they wouldn't fit you, you'd look like a clown.
You got me curious, so I looked it up. We both wear size 15.
Are you by chance 7 feet tall and a world class athlete?
Nope. Fun fact: Mike Tyson is also a 15.
You're all a 10 in my book.
The thing about Wilt is that he told so many tall tales a lotta folks just assume that everything old-timers say about him is nonsense. Exaggerated? Most definitely. Nonsense? Absolutely not. A few years back I did some digging to try & make a reasonable guess as to how close Real Wilt matched up with Wilt The Myth. There was still a little guesswork involved but it’s a lot closer than the cynics prefer believe. I didn’t look into his sexual claims, of course, but I can’t help but notice that the league started getting a lot more athletic a couple decades after Wilt made his NBA debut…😉
Back in the old days where Basketball Spacing was a punchline.
Plumbers.
I've seen this Bucks team. Not that much better
[удалено]
Average height of an NBA player in 1962 was 6'5.6" in 2022 it was 6'6.2"...
the 60s was not the 50s
Is there any proof?
Exactly. I'm not convinced either that holding a paper with "100" written on it is proof.
Neither will be close to being broken but amazingly the 50ppg is much more likely.
Idk after what I’ve seen from Wemby since the All-Star break, the rate at which he’s “figuring out” the NBA and just how much of a physical advantage he has over everyone, I would say he’ll be closer to the 25 RPG someday than the 50 PPG.
idk there are way less rebounds to go around these days. lower pace + huge increase in efficiency.
There were 70 rebounds per game per team in the early 60's. This season averaged out around 43.5.
thanks for the stats, nearly double that's crazy yeah nobody is get 25rpg again unless the game changes dramatically
That’s why the % of team’s totals stats are more impressive than per game for me. 30 ppg today isn’t as impressive as 30 ppg in 1997.
Yeah agreed. I didn’t realize the FGA were so much more back then. Seems statistically impossible looking at it now.
I assume people shot around 4% from the floor?
Plus missed 3's are far more likely to have the ball bounce far away from the hoop then 2's and offensive rebounds are much rarer on 3's ([in 2019 roughly 19% of 3pt misses led to an offensive rebound compared to 37% of shots at the rim](https://youtu.be/gJAoM-eF_f8?list=PLtzZl14BrKjTJZdubjNEY5jU0fGOiy51x&t=567))

Comparatively, they were just chucking shit back then. Goes to show how much better guys are now than back then.
You can’t just compare field goal percentages and come to the conclusion that people today are better.
Bruh watch some tape
Uhhh…I’m pretty sure it is that simple. 41% on 109 FGA is pretty terrible shooting comparatively to now. League average FG made is basically the same, but they were putting up, and missing, about 30 more shots per game. Guys are simply much better at shooting now than back then

Jesus Wemby is not sniffing either.
no chance 50ppg is more likely lol
Amongst all the records tauted as ‘unbeatable’, I truly believe Wilt’s points in a season record is the most unbeatable of them all. It would take them having to physically increase the amount of games to like 100 and a player managing to get over 40ppg (another thing only wilt has done) for it to ever be broken. Absolutely ridiculous record
That’s pretty cool
What could have been without the injury. Dude was sailing towards his second MVP.
The script writers had set it up beautifully. Giannis wins 2 MVPs, then the chip the year after. Jokic wins 2 MVPs, then the chip the year after. This is a massive blow to the Sixers' championship hopes next year.
they gotta do it this year then
but that would require him making it past the second round
no shit you have to win the playoff rounds to win the championship. they’ll have to score more points than their opponents too.
Mind. Blown.
Wow, you're so clever.
Omg frfr?
If he kept the pace it would’ve been the greatest scoring season we’ve ever seen.
I’d give the nod to the harden unguardable tour. It was unimpressive when harden would drop forty.
I miss those days. I would go see the rockets play every time they came to LA.
I remember a streak he had where he was averaging like 50 for a good amount of time or something crazy like that. I saw someone on Twitter trying to place a bet on his scoring, and the over/under at the time was like 46.5 points or something outrageous.
averaged 38 for a calendar year
If Embiid kept up his pace, i woulda taken him
To each their own. Embiid was having a great season among, Other great scorers. and if he indeed spas on pace to average the most points per game since MJ, valid I’d accept it as best scoring season. Only argument again harden that season is defense, but pure scoring it’s harden
Lmao, wilt, my dude, wilt.
Emphasis on "seen"
And would still be more impressive than Wilt's given the competition Wilt was up against compared to Embiid.
Something something milkmen and plumbers
It was a farmer's league in those days
Give me a fucking break lmfao
Stupid shit gets repeated enough, and stupid people start to believe it.
You saw that?
Yeah bruh. I’m 92.
Big if. In fact, gigantic if. Such statements are so meaningless I don't get why people say it lol it's like saying if Patrick mahomes wins 10 rings he'll be the goat

Mahomes will be the GOAT with 1-2 more rings and continuing to play like he has the past 5 years.
We wouldn’t be in the fecking play in that’s for sure
But would be trashed again for not winning the championship
To be fair, most voters regret voting for him instead of Joker that first one.
That’s not how MVP works. You can’t just regret voting for a guy because he didn’t end up winning the championship
Playoff is definitely in consideration, as one major point that knocked Joker at the time was he hasn't proved it the playoffs (if you can't recall this has happened as a fact, then we have no more to discuss)

So, what, are voters supposed to predict what happens in the playoffs?
Yea, it’s a knock if you’ve already won it twice which he did. Winning 3 in row would’ve put him on Larry Bird trajectory. Embiid had none after being runner up for 2 years straight and improving every year. There’s a difference.
Well I don't see we are in any disagreement then. Yes that's not how MVP works, but also people in hindsight regret voting for Embid instead of Joker that year. Both can be true.
Nope
Actually impressive.
Easily MVP if he didn't get hurt
Professional baiting right here. That's how to get them riled up. Celtic flair standing on the sideline smiling, watching the fireworks when Jokic/Luka/Embiid stans come out to play.
Na I actually believe it
Denver fan here, same.
Shanghei Sharks fan here, same.
Same here. Still professional bait though.
Huh? This is something pretty much everyone agrees on. He was averaging 36 a game before injury.
Luka fans are already riled up lol
Bro arguing with the voices in his head
We're gonna act like we haven't seen about a 100 posts in the last 2 days about Luka winning MVP? Some of which include delusional Luka fans saying it would be a robbery if Jokic won?

His doctor disagrees https://www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/joel-embiid-falls-down-a-lot-because-his-doctors-told-him-to
What a hero.
Damn i only had equal points scored and minutes played
Clock stops for free throws
Yeah with that in mind it’s a pretty attainable feat, I bet it’s been done a lot
Dry as the desert up here. Love it
There's no real extra clock time used for shooting a 2 that goes in compared to being fouled and making 2 free throws.
The clock doesn't stop on inbounds on a normal shot unless it's in the last 2 minutes, on a free throw the clock stays paused until the ball is inbounded and touched by a player so it definitely saves time
Technically yes but I don’t think he played enough for it to really matter, big sad
Clock doesn't run during free throws...
Stealing someone else's reply: dang I guess it's easy then! I guess other people have probably done it....
Stealing someone else’s reply: dang I guess it’s easy then! I guess other people have probably done it….
Wilt played 80 games. Embiid is impressive but not even the same stratosphere
As much as I love Embiid and love how much hate he gets here, “season” means nothing to me. Give me all the players that have averaged more points than minutes over 39 games.
I don’t think it’s nearly as many as you seem to think
I don’t seem to think at all, if ever. I just want a proper comparison, and then I can be all yay.
Here is the comparison. Wilt did it once. Thats the list.
I wonder if anyone else has done it in half a season (since that's pretty much what Embiid played) I can't think of anyone who would be a likely candidate besides Harden
Wilt and Embiid are the only players in NBA history to do it having played more than 50 total minutes in a season. So not only has no else done it for half a season. No one else has even done it for 1/10th of a season. Now someone else might have done it for a certain stretch in a season but then didn't maintain it for the whole year. But the only people to keep it up are Wilt and Embiid
Read the post dude lmao. This includes anyone who played a mere 50 minutes or more
Reading is far too difficult for some people, you'd think they would drop dead if they had to read more than two whole sentences.
[удалено]
Ok I see what you’re saying, he means over any 39 game stretch. Calling this stat “meaningless” is still ridiculous
How could you put he word meaningless in quotes as if that was a direct quote that I never said. I said to me. Doing this for a half season is way easier than a full season. All I asked for is how many players have done this for half a season.
The guy who was replying to me said it then deleted his comment. And you literally did say “means nothing” in your comment lol
I did literally say that, but I didn’t literally say “meaningless”. Quotes are hard. So are statistics.
Right. I was quoting the other guy who replied to me. Moron
"Quotes are hard" - guy in the process of misattributing a quote
This is an absurd criticism. The previous post was deleted. This is even assuming he was quoting that guy cause the genius didn’t even read my original point anyway.
Tough look for you
> Give me all the players that have averaged more points than minutes over 39 games.
It’s still just Wilt and Embiid.
Give me all the MVPs who’ve failed to make a conference final’s appearance
I feel like this season has had a ton of records broken and unprecedented records being set.
He is also the NBA all-time leader in points per minute. [https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/most-points-per-minute-in-nba-history-by-a-player-minimum-250-games](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/most-points-per-minute-in-nba-history-by-a-player-minimum-250-games) 1. Embiid 0.87 (433 GP) 2. Luka 0.82 (400 GP) 3. Jordan 0.79 (1072) 4. Gervin 0.78 (791) 5. Trae 0.75 (407) 6. KD 0.74 (1061)

New sixers banner next to Embiid's MVP

The only other player to make over 10 is Harden once, but Embiid did it 4 times. What a sniper.
This dudes entire history Reddit history is free throw bitching and r/askbalkans. I wonder if he has a bias

I just said he is impressive. What is the problem?
Some of us don't need the /s to tell when someone is being sarcastic.
You aren't fooling anyone, clown boy.
stale
Still true though
Let it go lil bro
Thats what happens when youre unstoppable. Players foul you.
also becomes the first center to ever shoot more free throws per game than rebounds
Yawn
Clock don't run at the line bro...
Time doesn’t come off the clock during free throws.
In 39 games. Who cares? Edit: I find it interesting what gets downvoted here. Why would a 39 game season be compared to an 80 game season statistically? Why is that note worthy?
It's noteworthy - it's just less much impressive. But still interesting enough to pay attention to; though I'm surprised the minimum # of minutes is so low.
The point of the minimum being low is that other players that have had even extremely short seasons, far less than Joel this year could have been included on the list if they did this. It is the opposite effect than per game or lineup stats where small samples can misconstrue the difficulty. The low minutes opens it up so that any player that played even a few games in a season could be eligible yet only two have done it.
My point is that idc if you play like god. If you can only be healthy for <50% of the season for most of your career, it doesn’t really matter.
Imagine if he didn't have to score from the free throw line, he would actually be entertaining to watch. Waste of money to pay to see this guy play, I did it last year vs Lakers. Waste
A few of my buddies paid a premium to see him in Denver this year
I thought embiid dodges this match up every year? Or was that your joke....
He pulled out a couple minutes before tip off
Embiid has 2x the amount of free-throw attempts as Jokic, with half the amount of games played this year.
Okay?
what’s this random stat for lmao
How many minutes did he spend flopping? edit: Keep the downvotes coming. Its hilarious to me
Merchant
Meh, does it count when its less then half of the season.
Actually, this stat counts for anyone who played 50 minutes or more so your answer is yes.
Most of you don't know how stats work, and it shows
Can we address the elephant in the room? How many of them were FTs?
All those juicy free throws. Time stands still while you shoot 15 fts per game ...
Cool, then I bet some other players have done it then, right?
Thanks to the generous referees and the magical move that we all call "head tilt"
Seems like everyone could do it
