1 year agoThe truth seems to be that no one particular player is that much better at guarding him than any other, only a tandem like AD and Dwight in 2020 can slow him down measurably. If I had to pick one player however I’d say Gobert gave him the most trouble these last playoffs.
I remember an effortpost someone made on here in which he adjusted Wilt’s stats for pace along with some other factors iirc and while still impressive they drop from unbelievable to more or less prime Shaq-level, again still great but the muh 100 points/50 ppg argument def mythologizes Wilt’s offensive output. And at least Shaq could maintain his numbers in the postseason, same with Jokic, Wilt however always wilted somewhat lol, so idk there probably is an argument for Jokic over Wilt offensively.
