gandalfe:

Let me just point out that, by any measure, I have 2 of the top 5 players of all time, and a great argument could be made for 3 of them. 28 championships among my starters, over 3 times as many as addictionary's team. I have him beat at every position except maybe Center, but when Wilt & Russell went head to head, Russell won.

addictionary:

Step into the house that Jack built...

Some might talk smack but don’t let them fool you. This is the Voltron. Your money is in safe hands.

Ask yourself and you will find the answer: There is not a single player that you don’t like on this team.

C- Wilt Chamberlain / Ben Wallace
PF - Rasheed Wallace / Shawn Kemp
SF - Grant Hill / Glen Rice
SG - Kobe Bryant / Mitch Richmond
PG - Steve Nash / Penny Hardaway

when Wilt & Russell went head to head, Russell won.

I hate how people argue this point. Russell had way better talent around him than What Wilt had.

 

[Hekate]

Gandalfe should win this easily. How did he pair MJ and Magic? That should not be possible.

Actually this would be a great matchup to watch. But I think I’m tired and this is it for me. Let’s have a great season of NBA ball.

But I thought Wilt was a super human that didnt need help.. just look at his stats.

Look at that Celtics team, and look at Wilt’s team.

Wilt didn’t have complete scrubs.

Wilt didn’t have complete scrubs.

He had west. That’s about it

 

[Miggs]

He had west. That’s about it

Uh, Elgin Baylor.

 

[gandalfe]

According to Bill Simmons,

Russell played with four members of the NBA's Top 50 at 50 (Havlicek, Cousy, Sharman, and Sam Jones); Wilt played with six members (Baylor, West, Greer, Cunningham, Arizin, and Thurmond). And Russell's teammates from 1957 to 1969 were selected to twenty-six All-Star games, while Wilt's teammates from 1960 to 1973 were selected to twenty-four.

 

[gandalfe]

Russell's teammates had 3 things going for them:

1. A great coach.
2. Continuity.
3. A team leader who was devoted to winning.

People making stupid trades

Because @silesian was only interested in forming All-Time pistons and 76ers teams

We should just discontinue the entire vote and just give it to Gandalfe

@silesian didnt even get Gandalfe’s second round pick. Looks like Gandalfe only had to give a third and fourth round picks. Silesian pretty much threw the contest for himself and everyone else.
