Yeah that's the way it is for some people. Even though, the guy has a career 18 ppg and nearly 9 rebs. Those numbers match a few players who already in the HOF. He's already proven that he can stay on NBA team, to actually playing, being a starter, being a good player, being all star, being a top-flight center, being MVP candidate, and possibly being the most important player in the league. Yet, he is just fodder for an occasional slam dunk highlight reel.
I think of all the players in NBA history....I think Olajuwon would be one of the ones who would give Wilt the most fits. As great as Wilt was, and special athlete that was in his 7,1 frame. I think Olajuwon was a better athlete. He would have trouble with a center who can move like a guard.
