> What i said to Michael was that when you are so great that the league tries to change the rules to stop your dominance then you can claim yourself as the GOAT. Every rule change that has happened during your career was implemented to make it easier for your game
Do you agree with Wilt Chamberlain Yea Forums?
Is he the real goat then?
imagine this: Pele scored 700 goals when offside didnt exist
Messi will finish with over 700 goals when offside exists plus he was never the #9
When did nba players start cleaning their underarm hair?
It wasn't really implemented to make it easier on him. It was more like they didn't want smaller guys driving to the basket getting their head knocked off their shoulders every time they found their lay-up line. Jordan just benefited from it because outside of his "I don't need a screen, lemme take this fool" shots, he went pretty close to the basket for his two points. I think Wilt would have thrived under the better safety regulations too, but at the same time, because of how he was, I don't think he'd win more than the odd Championship as a second option. I don't know why he was so obsessed with statistics.

Because in Pele's time the modern offside didn't exist. And Wiki has Pele's official goal count at 761 from 1957–1977 and Messi can score his 700th this Copa America. He'd only be 60 official goals behind Pele at the age of 31/32.
basketball was a babby sport in Wilt's time and they were changing shit all the time to make the game function
In Pele's time, kicking a player and going in two-footed went unpunished more often than not, the ball was essentially a bowling ball when wet and your boots were cement shoes after about 30 games. You put Messi in against the old monsters of Botafogo or Benfica, he'd be Eusebio's ball-boy.
t. Guy who actually held an old football and whose dad owns one of Ian St. John's old boots. How did those even pass the fucking standard?
