Wilt averaged 22.8 points per game and 17.6 rebounds in the first 11 games, while Kareem averaged 26.0 points and 15.6 rebounds. Jabbar was also a superior free throw shooter, making several key free shots during his career. In addition, Kareem earned six rings to Wilt's two. Although many consider them both in the same category of greatest players never to meet in the NBA Finals, many experts believe that if they had met in their prime, Kareem would have defeated Walt. Kareem was a more complete player than Wilt. He could shoot from outside, pass, defend, and rebound. Wilt was a great scorer but lacked the other skills needed to be considered one of the best power forwards of all time. They both played for the same team (Philadelphia 76ers), so it would have been a rivalry worth watching. Kareem started out of high school in Philadelphia before moving on to play college basketball for UCLA. In 1973, he declared for the NBA draft, where he was chosen by the Milwaukee Bucks as number one overall. That same year, Lew Alcindor changed his name to Michael Jordan. The media has called them the "Dream Team" because they were both on the 1976 Olympic basketball team. However, they never met during their careers due to different divisions being played in the Olympics at the time. Kareem played for the Bucks, Bulls, Cavaliers, and Hornets before retiring in 1999.
