  1. Kareem's Bucks played against Wilt's Lakers in the 1971 and 1972 playoffs, the Bucks winning six of the eleven games. In each of these two playoff series Kareem had a better True Shooting Percentage (field goal percentage combined with free throw percentage, each free throw worth one half of a field goal). Kareem had more assists per game than Wilt in each series. In the 1972 series, Kareem scored 34 points per game to Wilt's 11 per game, in 1971 Kareem scored 25 per game to Wilt's 22 per game. Wilt's rebounding stats were slightly better. in 1972 Wilt had 19.3 rebounds per game, Kareem had 17.5 rebounds per game; in 1971 Wilt had 18.8 per game, Kareem had 17.2 per game.
    Wilt's pathetic free throw shooting (only 43% in these playoff series) significant limited his value and ability to score points. Kareem had a large edge over Wilt in career True Shooting Percentage, Kareem's was 59.2% and Wilt's was 54.7%. In the playoff series between Kareem and Wilt, each played great defense against the other. Kareem and Wilt were the two greatest Centers of all time. I rate Kareem number 1 and Wilt number 2.

  2. Wilt outrebounded Kareem ( and everyone else). Its true Kareem scored a lot on Wilt-however his fg pct was .46 against Wilt- 10 pct lower than his career average of 56 pct.

  3. Let's keep in mind, this was an older Wilt against a Prime Kareem. Overall, Wilt is the better center, keeping up with such a legendary center that's in their prime while nearing retirement.

  4. well by these information it's nice to know that
    kareem fg/fga (total) was: (378/815) it means 46.38%
    wilt chamberlain fg/fga (total) was:(173/359) which means it was 48.2 %
    wilt was bad free throw shooter but his percentage under the rim was great even when he was injured and old playing against young kareem
    you decide about that now
