Lebron averaged over 60% on his 2 point % in 5 different years while averaging points in the high 20s and once in the low 30s
that is fantastic and very rare for anybody other than a center - and unheard of for a high scorer such as that (other than Wilt)
I'm not knocking any of these players but Larry Bird was never even close to that - neither was MJ and neither was Magic - Wemby has not gone over 60% but he's gotten close

Take Russell, Wilt, Kareem, Magic or Bird or GOAT-candidate-of-choice and make them 18 years old today with today's coaching, views on conditioning and modern sports science and medicine. They would be unbeatable monsters.

Karl-Anthony Towns. OG Anunoky. Mikal Bridges. Jalen Brunson. Landry Shamet.
Stefon Castle. De'Aaron Fox. Dylan Harper. Keldon Johnson.
Very intense game.

So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Kareem was totally awesome in just about every aspect of the game
he averaged 4 or more blocks per game in a couple of years
Wemby has been under 4 in all 3 of his years
they didn't keep track of blocks in Wilt's years until his final year
in that year at age 36 he averaged 5.4 blocks per game
many more blocks than either Kareem or Wemby
what a monster he was
Wilt and Kareem dunk on each other____________:)___________fun to watch

Different eras and different rules. Wilt and Jabbar played their careers without the three-second rule that keeps Wemby from camping out near the basket, and today's NBA is an outside shooting league. Even Wilt would have problems blocking shots from the top of the key.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened
