Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time

I will first tell you all of Wilt's achievements. Wilt Chamberlain was a great player. He was born on August 21st, 1936 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Wilt died on October 12, 1999 in Bel Air, California at the age of 63. He stands 7 ft 1 in(2.16m) and weighs 275 lb (125kg). Wilt did not play basketball in his early years, saying it was a game for sissies. He was very good track and field athlete despite being very tall. Wilt entered the NBA in 1959, and retired in 1973. Wilt holds 72 NBA records and 63 of them was held by himself. Some of the records he set were: Most Points Per Game in a season (50.4 during 1961-62 season), Most Points scored in a game (100 vs. New York Knicks on March 2,1962), and only center to lead the league in total assist. Wilt averaged 30.1 points (Tied with the most points per game with Michael Jordan), 22.9 total rebounds (The highest rebound average), and 4.4 assist (high amount of assists for center). With a field goal percentage of 54%, he is a very efficient shooter. He has a low free throw percentage of 51%, but as being a big, tall, center, it is clearly understandable why he was a bad free throw shooter. Some of Wilt's many awards were: 2 time NBA champion, 1 time finals MVP, 4 time MVP, 13 time NBA all-star, 1 time NBA All-Star Game MVP, NBA rookie of the year, 7 times scoring champion, led the league once in total assist, and a 11 times rebounding champion. His 50.4 PPG season was dead amazing as he also once scored 100 points in a game that season. He was an excellent defensive and a offensive player with high career overall PER of 26.1. Isn't Wilt the greatest after all these things I stated so far? Wilt Chamberlain, though, have some few flaws that clearly shows why Jordan is better. If this debate was about who had bigger numbers, records, and achievements, Wilt would simply win this debate. But the thing is that we are not debating about those things, we are debating about the greatness and skill. Michael Jordan was simply great. Michael had amazing and spectacular dunks and shots at times when the Bulls were down and was losing by little. Michael won the defensive player of year once, and for a guard, he is the only one to do so. Wilt should have won many of the defensive player of the year awards, but in Wilt's time the award did not even exist. In fact many of things were different in Wilt's time than Jordan's. I will explain right here, about Wilt's flaws that Jordan didn't have. Wilt played the NBA from 1959 to 1973. On the other hand, Jordan played from 1984 to 1993, 1995-1998 and also from 2001-2003. Basically, Wilt played in the 60's and the while Jordan played during the 80's and the 90's. Wilt's fans will argue how Wilt got 100 points in a game and have a big stats and Jordan's fans will say about the different era, failure to win a lot of title, and less and weaker competition. I have believed at first that Jordan was the best, than researched a bit more to realized Wilt was better, than came back and realized Jordan was definitely better. In the season 1960-1961, around the time Wilt entered the league, average player height was 6ft 5.5in, average points per game was 118.1, average field goals attempts per team was, 8642. In the season 1970-1971, towards the end of Wilt's career, average height was 6ft, average points per game was 112.4, average field goal attempts were 8038. Rebounding number were also greater, averaging about 5000 a season as field goal percentage was about 42%. In the 80's and the 90's, average height was about a inch greater, points per game was about 10 less than the 60's, field goal percentages was about 47%, field goal attempts were 800 less per team than the 60's, and rebounds were about 1500 less than the 60's. Also, in the 60's, the league was about 15 teams as in the 80's there was about 25 teams. Failing to win many championships in a smaller league is disappointing, and I believe Wilt is like the Karl Malone of the 90's. I understand Boston and L. A. was the powerhouse of the 60's but Wilt's team possessed a good enough record and players to win more championships. Wilt also had lesser spectacular but still spectacular playoff stats, averaging 22.5 PPG, 24.5 RPG, and 4.2 APG. Still, Wilt seems better than Jordan so far of what I said in the debate. But the greatest thing in the debate, is the minutes Wilt played and the amount of shots he took. Wilt played about a whole game while Jordan played about 40. 48 to 40. In 8 minutes, things can change. Also, Wilt shot 22.5 field goals while Jordan shot 21.5 shots per game. This is about similar but Wilt had ups and downs. For the first 7 seasons, Wilt averaged 39 points per game, led the league in scoring 7 straight times, and shot about 31 shots per game. In his last 7 seasons, he averaged, 20.7 PPG, never led the league in scoring, never got more than 27.3 PPG in a season, and shot about 14 shots per game. Also, his field goal percentage increased in the final 7 years, making most of his shots. All of Wilt's good scoring years were when he shot 30 shots per game. Jordan for his whole career, had a consistent 30 PPG and a consistent 20 shots per game. Per 36 minutes, Jordan has about 28.3 points per game, 5.9 rebounds per game, 4.9 assists per game, 21.5 shots per game and a field goal percentage of 49.7 while Wilt has about 23.6 points per game, 18 rebounds per game, 3.5 assists per game, 17.7 shots per game and a field goal percentage of 54%. If both players shot 20 shots in a 36 minute game, Jordan averages 26.3 points per game while Wilt averages 26.7 points per game. Because of the different era, Wilt should average about 24 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assist during the era of Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan also had a higher PER than Wilt Chamberlain (27.9 to 26.1). Because of the different era, minutes played, and the number of shots took by Wilt Chamberlain, he is not as good as Michael Jordan, who I believe is the greatest NBA player of all time.
