Exactly the type of thing you would expect to hear from somebody who isn't named Michael Jordan. |

I think Wilt was an alien. The outer space kind. |

Wilt was the greatest basketball player of all time. No player dominated his sport more than Wilt other than the greatest of all time, THE BABE. |

Muhammed Ali Mike Tyson Tiger Woods Wayne Gretzky Michael Jordan LeBron James I wasn't alive for Wilt or the Babe, but I'd say the dominance of each of these individuals is pretty clear. I guess I'm inclined to agree with Kareem's statement....LeBron has just been more of an outspoken douche compared to Jordan. |

Of course he would say that. Maybe if Magic didn't carry him for half his titles he could be considered the greatest. |

Indeed they do. Especially in context with a bunch of words that have meaning preceding words that you have a problem with. Some would call that cherry picking. Are you a cherry picker? |

There cannot be more than one greatest of/at something. |

Isn't some of Chamberlain's and Alcindor's greatest based on their height and lack of good competition? For example there were less than 20 NBA teams when the Celtics were winning all their titles. |

I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes! |

Wilt kinda has that Dan Marino and Peyton Manning argument. Ultimately guys who followed them were better. |

His nuanced thoughtful response holds no water with you. Because why? Because you thought it was a good idea to give him a shot backed up by "words have meaning" jargon. How reductive of you. |
