The narrative that Wilt was dominated by Russell is statistically and factually inaccurate since Wilt's team lost all of those years to Boston, but it's been nonsensically spewed for a long time. https://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/tiny.fcgi?id=PAGXr Playoffs Player G W L GS MP FG FGA FG% FT FTA FT% TRB AST PF PTS Bill Russell 49 29 20 5.9 14.0 .417 3.2 5.2 .609 24.7 4.9 3.9 14.9 Wilt Chamberlain 49 20 29 10.0 19.6 .508 5.8 11.8 .490 28.0 4.1 2.4 25.7 these rebounding numbers are insane. Its why I think the premerger stuff should be in a different category from post merger stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the pre merger statistics prove this is a false narrative. There's literally NOTHING aside from FT% and almost an assist per game that Russell was better at than Chamberlain.

Durant is shooting slightly better and Durant is getting a few more free throw attempts. they have the same points scored on the same number of shots. Same rebounding average. Harden has slightly more assists and steals. Durant has more blocks. Harden has 1 more turnover. yet the narrative is that Harden is choking and Durant is dominating. Harden is shooting 38.3% on 23.5 FGA. Durant is shooting 42.6% on the same number. That's not really "slightly" better. League average FG% is 46% this year. If you can't figure it out...well...again, I'm not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 40% is less ****. In regards to the Harden vs Durant portion of the argument...Durant gets the benefit of the doubt because he's done it all before. Harden hasn't. Harden's doing what he typically does in the playoffs. If you can't grasp that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
