are y'all aware that the big 0 averaged a triple double for an entire season?
in your opinion, is there a more impressive achievement?
if you think there is, do tell
thanks
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

Is there a more impressive season-long achievement in basketball? I'd be hard pressed to make a good argument...

a quadruple double average in one season, which is damn near impossible seeing that nobody has ever had one.

I think its very impressive but I think Wilts 100 pts in a game is right up there.
The total wins in one season (73?) the bulls had with Jordan is the most impressive team accomplishment.

Pete Maravich
Chauncey Billups

Championship and Finals MVP, should have a 2nd, could have it this year. He'll be a HOFer.
Pete hung it up early, and he averaged insane numbers both in college and pro. What he did for the game changed everything, it became a source of entertainment.

Rick Pitino didn't think too highly of Chauncey. Thanks, coach.

you really have a thing against chauncey, it is a blind spot
he will go down as a great one
oscar did something none of the others have done
just because he was before your time is no excuse to exclude him
anyone who omits him from top 5 is a fool

baylor was a forward
your knowledge of the game is limited by your age
you should study up on past greats
where would you put bob petit?
there are so many you exclude because of ignorance
in the meantime "mr bigshot" will go down way ahead of your projections
