By most accounts, he's one of only a couple of dudes who played any defense, yet he never shot better than .467 from the field. Who was guarding him? If he was playing against the same nobodies and 6'5 centers who supposedly guarded Wilt, you'd think he's crack .500 once. Even worse when you consider the fact that he played with the narrow lane. Also, career .561 FT shooter. ZERO offensive skills

Top four in rebounding becomes less impressive when you consider the fact that he played the majority of his career in an 8 team league. That means that he was in the top always in the top 50% of bigs.
