That was taken from another site…….and he summed it off perfectly.

@Ian

I saw that it was a farce on Wiki…..after I read up on Wilt’s 100 point game….what yahoo article???

I’m not hating on Wilt. I’m actually saying that he was and forever will be the only guy who got 100 in 48 min. Knicks started fouling to prevent Wilt from getting 100. Warriors started fouling to get Wilt the ball. Both teams were continuously fouling in the last 5-6 minutes. A lot of chances can be gained from such play…. Also, Wilt himself was a little embarrassed at the way the game played out at the end. He says that quite clearly in his autobiography. But that’s not a knock on him. Hell, getting into the position of being able to get a 100 points itself is unbelievable……..

@KB8toSG8 – “Wilt’s 100 point game was a farce in the last few minutes. That’s quite widely documented. Without it, he would’ve probably gotten 80 points or so. Also, the speed at which they used to play is waaay more faster than today’s teams. That’s pretty widely known as well.”

thought i saw that same argument over at BDL today… farce or what… that’s still 100.. just like the argument that kobe drpped 81 on a shitty Raptors team… but it’s still 81… you contradicting yourself bruh

@the_don_mega

Nope. I’m saying today’s game is slower than the 60s. Wilt’s time……Waaaaay slower.

@KB8: “43 Points in 18-30 From the Field shooting at 60% FG in 43 minutes at Age 40, 10 Rebounds, 3 Assists, 4 Steals, 1 Block 7-8 FT shooting at 87% FT
Hmmmm…..he played for 43 min and shot 60% from the field. He played for 43 minutes!!! Do you honestly think that the old MJ could actually almost triple his productivity in the same time?!?! You my friend, need to think clearly.”

Yes I do think he would. Why not?? That was his stat line as a 40 YR OLD against one of the league’s best defensive teams, and primarily against RJ who was one of the best defenders at his position at that time. Defense was their MO. They certainly didn’t win because Kidd and RJ were lighting it up from the perimeter. Put him against the lowly Raps and YES, I do think he could do it. The Raps haven’t played defence since Oakley was there.

Thanks for posting the entire statline. Look at those numbers at 40. Lol! It’s crazy!! Now there’s no doubt in my mind that he would score 90-100 against today’s bad teams.
In your words, “You my friend, need to think clearly.”

Btw, in addition to the 43pts, he went out and grabbed 10 boards, 3 assists and 4 steals? CRAZY! You aren’t even acknowledging he did that shit at that age. Hardly anybody plays in their 40s, nevermind take over games like that against top-tier. I wonder how many guys played to 40yrs old. It’s gotta be less than 20 guys in the history of the league.

Also, that was Jordan’s best night as a Wiz. The old MJ might’ve gotten a few more points but that would still put him at say 70-75. Nothing more. Nothing less. And those rebound stats are very misleading. Very……

@KB8
You just like to discredit shit left, right and center, huh?
“The rebound stats are misleading, very”
“Wilt’s 100pt game was a farce”

“He shot 60% and played 43 min and still got 43 points (think he shot 30….) How in hell can a player almost triple his productivity in the same time if he was 10 years younger? Its never happened in any sport and probably never will. History is on my side.”
Because at 40, Jordan was hurt, old, slow, couldn’t jump while Kidd/RJ/Martin were twice as fast, could jump higher and were much quicker, and healthier than MJ at the team. That’s how. I don’t think it’s so far-fetched to think he COULD do it against an inferior Raptors team. That Raps team was one of the worst defensive teams EVER. To think a prime MJ couldn’t score 90-100 against that team, facing the same defensive strategy Kobe faced, is funny to me. The only thing that would keep him from doing it is if his team blew them out early. Which is what usually happened to bad teams when MJ was in his prime.

and bitter?? Haha! What does he have to be bitter about?? The dude has a statue in front of the building he built, 10 straight scoring titles in which he played the full season, 6/6 Finals w/ MVPs and is the GOAT?? Yeah, he must be bitter.

lol@ kobe being the best scorer ever. you know he NEVER shot over 50%? amazing player? yes. but more like a great volume shooter than best scorer ever.

@ KB8

u have no clue whatsoever.
from saying wilts 100 was a farce to stating the 3 point line was shorter in 92(if it were close ok, but 3 years off? awful), just a bunch of bullshit.

Sorry MJ, I have to strongly disagree.

What rule changes is he talking about? The only major rule change that I can think of is No Hand-checking, and this was established in ’94, so he should’ve scored 100 then, right?

There’s always gonna be rule changes, but I know for a fact that today’s Defense is better than the 90s. It more organized and players are more athletic today than they were when MJ was playing.

If he says it, I believe it.

Jordan could NOT get 100 in a game. PERIOD. He has a good FG% (at 50) but, hand checking was NEVER a problem for Jordan because anybody within two feet of him would get a foul called. Seriously, after the Pistons leveled him and the Bulls (Pippen had a “migraine.”), the “rough” play of the 80s stopped. He is not a pure shooter. He IS a scorer. There is a difference. Shaq is a scorer while Reggie Miller was a shooter.

Also, so we knock Kobe for getting 81 while playing the “sorry” Raptors (with Chris Bosh) but Jordan gets a FREE pass when the NBA picked up SIX expansion teams in the PRIME of his era!! (Charlotte Hornets, Vancouver Grizzlies, Toronto Raptors, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Orlando Magic) Look at the rosters of these teams in their FIRST year. Each team in the NBA plays TWICE. If you are in the same conference, you play at least three times. Do the math on Jordan’s chances against these stiffs. Come on!!! Jordan is a great player but, when we start thinking he can do EVERYTHING… come on. Like someone said, “MJ is sounding like a retired Wilt… stating how he could do this and that.”
