Both super athletic big men who had guard skills and could shoot but Chambers was a pioneer of this style and he did it in an era with hand-checking. If Chambers played in this no hand-check wussy league now where you can dribble around freely and shoot from anywhere you want he would average more ppg and have more titles than Durant.

Do you have any statistical backing to the statement....or are you just drinking again?

If you want, I can make the Dirk/Bird argument to save you from an embarrassing thread.....

Probably biggest advantage TC has on KD is hair. TC rocked his 'do like few others in NBA history. Looked like Don Johnson straight out of Miami Vice.

Mikan is my good friend's uncle through marriage. He says Mikan was the nicest guy and Shaq really did speak with him a lot and paid for everything when he died.
I'm not surprised about either of these things. For all Shaq's flaws he's a good dude and like almost all greats is a student of the game.

For the 1940s and early 50s Mikan really was a beast. He played 7 years, made 4 All Stars (there were only 5 he could play), 6 All NBA First teams, 5 NBA Titles, 5-0 in the Finals. Really was a pioneer.

Damn it.

[Deletes draft of "Joe Kleine was better than Joel Embiid" post.]

But if Joe Wolf had the freedom that Embiid does, he’d be just as effective in today’s game, if not more. Honestly his mullet weighed him down, today he’d have a fresh fade and would be quicker. Advantage: Wolf.

Chambers better than Kd? Don’t kno about that one but this dunk has always been one of my faves. Think that was mark Jackson who got posterized.
Co-signed. And this one by Bobby Sura.
