Wilt Chamberlain's 50 ppg seasons are so overrated and inflated. #NBATwitter (Thread)
He averaged 48 minutes per game that season, His Per 36mins stats for that season are probably a decent approximation of what we’d expect to see today if he played sustainable minutes — 37.4 points and 19.0 rebounds, before applying your pace adjustments, for the last 5 seasons.
He’s approximately around, 32-33 points and 16-odd rebounds after the pace and minutes adjusment. For context, Currently Joel Embiid is at 34 & 12 per 36 mins and Jokic is at 27 & 11. So, still an insane season by Wilt but closer to modern MVP bigs. (End Thread)
