Do you think the title is true or false? In my opinion, I think Jokic clears Wilt Chamberlain offensively. Wilt is probably the better scorer due to the records but skill wise, Jokic clears him via the eye test with his insane skill gap and that compensates for Wilt’s athleticism gap. Nothing more to say on playmaking because Jokic is easily the greatest playmaking big of all time.
Does Jokic’s efficiency and skill gap offset Wilt’s record breaking numbers and athleticism or do you think Wilt is just better offensively?
No one knows. I have Wilt in my top 5 ever. He’s the statistically the most dominant statistical player ever and we don’t know how many blocks he had, but some redditor did an evaluation of over 100 games and found it was like over 8 a game or something nuts.
Like you can try to adjust for pace, competition, or reduce wilt’s minutes to the current league average (which makes zero sense based on how many MPG he averaged), but the reality is that he averaged 50 for a season. Put up 100 in a game. and is one of two players to average more than 30 for his career, and that was with a big fall off.
