Wilt vs. Russell

I say Russell because...

-Wilt took close to 40 shots a game when he was putting up the 50 pt. AVG
-Wilt would stop playing defense to not foul out
-Wilt was quoted saying he preferred losing:

In a way, I like it better when we lose. It's over and I can look forward to the next game. If we win, it builds up the tension and I start worrying about the next game.
Russell's record vs. Wilt. 84-58
Wilt's record vs. Russell. 58-84

Russell: 11 Championships.
Wilt: 2 Championships.

Wilt's teams were also more talented on average, and he had a better supporting cast.

Russell had to coach the team for the last 2 championships.

Once Wilt became obsessed with assists he would pass up open shots to try to get an assist.

Wilt was traded twice in his career, Russell never was.

Offensive goal tending was legal during Wilt's 100 point game, and 50 point season.

Wilt was obsessed with statistics and instead of blocking shots in play he would smack them like volleyball's out of bounds.

Wilt's record in game 7's: 4-5
Russell's record in game 7's: 11-0

Wilt's record in elimination games: 10-11
Russell's record in elimination games: 16-2

Over an equal time span (Russell's whole career vs. 13 years of Wilts) Wilt played with 6 members of NBA's top 50 at 50, while Russell played with 4.

Wilt argued with and blamed coaches and players for losses.
