This is awesome. Basketball Reference is starting to add some game stats for players from before they were officially tracked. These mostly came from a long-time league statistician who was specifically focused on Wilt's numbers.

It looks like they're only adding in the stats for one season so far, but I know that statistician was keeping records for a long time before that.

  • Wilt averaged 5.4 blocks per game in his final season (likely his career low)
  • He now has 31 more triple doubles from 10+ block games (prorated to his entire career, 300+ total triple doubles)
  • Bill Russell averaged over 6 blocks per game in the limited records for him
  • Jerry West averaged over 7 steals per game in his limited records

Jerry West did that without ever playing the Raptors once.

He'd average 12 steals in today's NBA!

15 if he played the Raptors in the playoffs.
