Wilt Chamberlain, statistically, is the greatest individual basketball player ever

Rebuttel contention 1: He conceded this point Contention 2: My opponent misinterpreted my stance and I think the argument in general. I was merely arguing that we should look at career achievements more heavily than seasonal achievements. the point still stands until my opponent can avoid a straw-man. Constructive contention 1: My opponent conceded my point but said it is not a fair judging criteria. He just makes the blanket claim that they were chosen differently "back in wilt's day" and provides no evidence to prove this. Until some valid evidence toward your claim is brought up my contention and point is still valid. I will concede the point on Final MVP's however because it is a matter of winning in the first place. So in terms of final MVP's both have a 100% win rate. However You can't just say nobody tries in all-star games and call it an argument. Obviously people try and people win awards for doing so. Michael's win ratio was larger period. Contention 2: My opponent conceded this judging criteria and did not even argue to why it shouldnt be taken into consideration. I win on this point and I will further bring it up in voters. Contention 3: His only argument is that its a few hundredths of a difference in points per game and that it doesn't matter. But obviously this does matter when your talking about the GREATEST PLAYER in basketball history. How can you be the greatest in ppg if someones is higher than yours even if it is a minute difference. And no my friend it wasn't because Michael played more games because this is average ppg. And now on to my opponents new case (even though a fair debate would involve you bringing these points up in the first round. ) On his first contention he's talking about field goal percentage but is ignoring the point he conceded in my very first contention. Michael played shooting guard which meant he shot more often and in more stress heavy situations. comparing the fg of a center and shooting guard is ridiculous "Comparing field goal percentage between a big man who shoots a lot, and a shooting guard who shoots a lot is counter productive"[1] Also it should be noted that when it came to the play offs Michael's field goal was higher than Wilts. When the going got tough it seems Wilt gave up. This doesn't prove Wilt was a better scorer maybe that he was a tad bit more accurate but not a better scorer. On his second contention I don't see how minutes has anything to do with being a greater player and he failed to bring this up. Also holding saying how wilt held the record more times is a logical fallacy. We have no idea in respect to the competition at the time whether one was better than the other. Even if Michael held it less times it may have been against tougher players. The fouling point is in direct contradiction with my very first point about position respective statistics. On his 3rd He makes one crucial error. My whole point on consistency was career consistency which he completely contradicts throughout his entire point. Like I mentioned before anyone can have a great season. But the greatest would be the greatest throughout his entire career. The fact is Michael had the higher average points per game and has more all time scoring records than wilt. Michael has 24 All time NBA scoring records while wilt has 18. [1] Case in point. More scoring records clearly leads to the better scorer. [1] . http://hoopsapedia.webs.com...
