The bigger thing is they now don't have to rush Embiid back for G2. The strangest stat of the night is that Jaylen Brown took 3 shots after the 1Q after he started the game 6-7. Bizarre.

Yep. No need to play him unless he's 100%, and it seems doubtful he will be. Really, an incredible win for the Sixers.
Turnovers ultimately doomed the C's. Philly with 14 more shots 6 only 6 turns. It's such an important stat and was vital to MU's success until the tragic events of March 17th.
We didn't play great against Vermont, but I wouldn't call our win "tragic."
Just did something I almost never do - watched Colin Cowherd (I know, but I had 15 minutes to waste). He listed his 7 greatest NBA players ever and the first 6 are identical to mine. Kareem, MJ, LeBron, Steph, Magic, and Bird. As of now, to me, these are written in stone. He had Shaq at #7 which I am fine with although arguments can be made for 4 or 5 others.
Kind of tough to not have Chamberlain or Russell in the conversation. For different reasons but still. Look at Wilt's stats for starters. I'm not sure they should be penalized cause the game was different and before most people's time.
Take a look at Wilt's first nine seasons. It's seriously ridiculous.
Player quality during that period of time and lack of a three point line made Wilt the best. The game was very different.
He completely dominated and shredded people in his era. It's his fault he put up insane numbers because everyone else sucked and there was no 3pt line? I'm not buying that explanation. You can only play in your era so I guess his 38 ppg and 29 rebs his rookie season should be discounted? Was the NBA in Lillyput back in the 60's?
Wilt was amazing. A physical freak. Bigger, stronger, faster than his opponents. There simply were not mobile 7 footers in the sixties. Russell was his toughest opponent, Russell was 6'9.Elgin Baylor and Oscar Robertson were amazing for their era, two amazingly successful big guards who dominated their opponents physically. They were both in the 6'5, 220lb neighborhood.Wilt was a freak for his era.
I am not saying that. Wilt would dominate any era. And good players with modern training, conditioning, etc would be successful. I have every expectation Elgin/O would be successful now. They would not be able to physically bully their opponents.
