They didn't even track blocks when Elgin Baylor played, pretty sure he'd shit on him in blocks as well if they did.

Ain't better than Elgin Baylor though. Elgin Baylor is 27 ppg and 13 rpg for his career, with seasons like 38 ppg 19 rpg, 34 ppg 20 rpg, etc.
Not even close. xD
If anyone averaged 38 and 19 today, people would proclaim them GOAT lmao.

Arguably, maybe Wade is top 5 SG. But that’s only because Baylor was a forward and not a guard. That’s like saying Wade is better than Bird. Lmao. Bird is better, but he was a Forward
In these position-less basketball, I’d rather have Baylor acting as SG.

The same Wilt that have the most point in the game ? All them old heads didn’t play with pros. Most of the players had other jobs.
Jordan > Kobe > Wade

That's such an overrated argument.The same Wilt that have the most point in the game ? All them old heads didn’t play with pros. Most of the players had other jobs.
Did you know Bill Russell had the most game 7s of anyone that ever played? If he was facing such weak competition and his team was way better, why did it always go game 7?
People also say those guys played small guys, but the average height in their era was just 1 inch shorter than today, which is negligible.

Every NBA great says Bill Russell is the winning GOAT.
This reminds me of the “Who is the greatest Laker argument”:

Magic/Shaq/West/Kareem: Kobe is the GOAT laker.
Random internet dude: If we’re being honest, Kobe ain’t even top 5 Laker. Lmfao

That's also an overrated argument. The fact that there was fewer teams, means that all of those guys (Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West and Oscar Robertson) had to play each other more often than if there was more teams. For example, today, LeBron has the luxury of only having to play against KD twice in the season, while getting more games vs scrub teams. Back in the day, he'd have to play him many more times.
So fewer teams doesn't necessarily mean easier time. Could even mean the opposite.
