"You obviously never saw Wilt Chamberlain play who undoubtedly was the greatest scorer this game has ever known. When did MJ ever average 50.4 points per game plus 25.7 rebounds? (Wilt in the 1962 season when blocked shot statistics were not kept). We will never accurately know how many shots Wilt blocked. Oh, by the way in 1967 and 68, Wilt was a league leader in assists. Did MJ ever score 100 points in a game? How many times did MJ score more than 60 points in a game? MJ led the league in scoring in consecutive seasons for 10 years but he did this in an NBA that eventually expanded into 30 teams vs. when Wilt played and there were only 8 teams."
"Affectionately, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, NBA's All-Time Leading Scorer"
Kareem has a great point here because technically he is the greatest scorer of all time and I don't take anything away from him for saying this because his facts back it up. And for Wilt he was the best scorer over MJ for pure dominance over everyone at the time. And the only reason Jordan average for a career is because his first 5 years he never passed the ball to anyone and was a biggest ball hog ever thats why they didn't win till he became team players. I loved how Kareem ended his letter stating he is the All-Time Leading Scorer because it's so true no one can take that from him till some one dethrones him possibly in the near future with the likes of Kobe, LeBron, or way down the line Durant.
