and most of them were dunks were he barely grabbed the rim. He wasn't really bashing it...it couldn't really in that era...being the only Black man on the court ...or one of a couple..he couldn't play an all out power game...couldn't risk hurting an opponent like that....He spoke on that.... he had to restrain his physical dominance in college and not dunk with fury ...honestly at risk of his own safety as a Black man at that time...

he wasn't all finesse at that time but his power game was finessed out of necessity...which to me from a talent level puts him above all centers....and really players.
