*** Looked it up. Alcindor was doing things like that at UCLA, way north of 20 per game. Chamberlain nothing close in college, one year in pros. I could have lost something serious betting he only played one year in college, the 1957 NCAA finals loss ... then going to Globetrotters. But he played 2, the next year missing the tournament.
Remember, though, that in Alcindor’s day, freshmen could not play on the varsity— so you’re referring to alcindor’s second year in college.
I’m a duke homer and love watching Zion, but it’s hard to see how he ends up being better than Kareem or Wilt.
