Too Much Rather Than Not Enough, Claim Is Lack Of ‘Diversity’ But MLB Is Giving Foreigners Jobs Instead Of Americans
Published
2 years agoon
You’ve got to wonder about a professional sports league that has, for the longest time, now denied their own history for a manufactured one, while at the same time complaining about ‘diversity’ {sic} which is a made-up thing to destroy Western civilization and leftist code for anti-white. One tool the left uses is Jackie Robinson, who was indeed a good man and player, but he did NOT break the professional baseball color barrier.
That was accomplished by Moses Fleetwood Walker, also a black man, on May 1, 1884, when he played Catcher for the Toledo Blue Stockings of the professional (as in paid players) American Association (AA). He appeared in 42 of their 104 games (batting .263, which was the 3rd best average in the league), at a time before “catcher’s mitts”. Mainly he caught barehanded, but did sometimes wear a regular glove with slits in it so he could stuff some padding into the palm.
Moses’ own brother, Weldy Walker, was the 2nd professional black baseball player, on July 15, 1884, as an OF for the same team when injuries left them short of players. He played just 5 games that year, but later played 3B for other teams. Toledo finished 8th (46-58) out of 13 teams. It would then be almost 63 years until Jackie started at 1B for the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947.
New research touts William Edward White (who was mixed race; white father, black mother) as the first black player (ONE game on June 21, 1879 for the Providence Grays*, of the then new National League; and the first team to install a screen behind home plate to protect fans from wild pitches and foul balls), but he both passed as AND self-identified as a white man. Moses never hid from what he was, so in our book he remains first.
Back to today, democRATs, MSM and other communists, along with MLB itself are claiming that with ZERO American-born black players on World Series rosters this year, for either the Philadelphia Phillies (NL champs) or Houston Astros (AL champs), that MLB lacks ‘diversity’ {sic}. Let’s look at the math, which as we know the left insists is ‘muh racist’.
2022 MLB season (versus population of USA)
62.1% White (59.3%)
28.5% hispanic (18.9%)
7.2% black (13.6%)
1.9% asian (6.1%)
0.4% other (2.1%)
Some of these players are foreign born, but going just by race, Whites are SLIGHTLY over-represented (by 2.8%), and hispanics are vastly over-represented (by 9.6%) while blacks are approximately half what would be par. Asians and ‘other’ (combined) are also under-represented at barely over 28% of what would be par.
Here is the distinction. We think the best people should get the job, regardless of race…but they should not be foreigners, they should be Americans. We also feel the same way about pro sports leagues in other countries.
According to their own report, MLB opening day rosters for 2022, along with players on various lists (such as injured, restricted or bereavement), total 975 men (840 active, 135 not). Other than the expanded roster year of 2020 (which had 291), the 2022 season was the highest for foreign born players with 275 foreign players from 21 countries and territories. That is 28.2% of all MLB players this year.
The countries represented are:
The Dominican Republic (99), Venezuela (67), Cuba (23), Puerto Rico (16), Mexico (13), Columbia (10), Panama (6), Honduras (1), Nicaragua (1). So 236 hispanics total of 275.
Along with Canada (12), Japan (7), Curaçao (5), South Korea (4), the Bahamas (3), with Aruba, Australia, Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands, Taiwan, and U.S. Virgin Islands all having one. There is also 1 unknown (possibly from outer-space**). So 39 of 275.
The Houston Astros have SIXTEEN foreign-born players on their roster! So from that we know they help a team be successful AND that they are more likely to cheat (which kind of goes hand in hand for that team which never truly paid a price for their cheating that they did while winning via cheating. In other words, they cheat. And Rob Manfred is a piece of shit for letting them get away with it).
Those 275 spots are jobs that Americans can and would do, just like late night comedy talk shows***. The claim is that despite the U.S. population increasing, there simply aren’t enough MLB quality American players to stock teams, so they must hire foreigners, and THAT is complete and utter bullshit:
U.S. Population, every 10 years since 1950)
1950 148,281,550
1960 176,188,578
1970 200,328,340
1980 223,140,018
1990 248,083,732
2000 282,398,554
2010 311,182,845 (more than double 1950, just 60 years earlier)
2020 335,942,003
2022 338,289,857
Number of teams in the league today (and in 1950)
MLB (founded 1876 NL, 1901 AL) = 30 (16 in 1950)
NFL (founded 1920) = 32 (13 in 1950, first year of the AAFC–NFL merger which brought in the Browns, 49ers and Colts)
NBA (founded 1946) = 30 (11 in 1950-51 season)
“We can’t find 275 more good players out of 338 MILLION Americans.” Fuck you MLB. They no longer give us heroes.
While over the decades blacks have stayed at roughly about 13% of the U.S. population (or just over 1 in 8, which is 12.5%) they have managed to take 68% of the NFL player jobs and 81.1% of the NBA player jobs. That is NOT ‘diverse’.
Whites are just 16% of the global population, or 1 in 7 people on Earth. THAT is a minority. Yet the alt-far-left try to end them being a majority in countries they founded and now in sports leagues in those countries. Leftists claim that because the player % is so high in the pro sports leagues, that the coaching % should be too, but that isn’t logical. The problem is that the player % is too high, and the coaching % is almost exactly where it should be.
If we went by the strict definition of diverse, there would be 127 American-born black players in MLB out of 975 (or 4.23 per team), since according to the left you have to have representation according to your portion of the population.
There would also be 221 American born black players in the NFL out of 1696 players (or 6.91 per team), and 59 American born black players out of 450 (or 1.97 per team). Why is all of that important? Think back to 2020, and the BLM riots. Those riots could never EVER have happened if what the left claim they want (equality defined by population percentage) was real.
This proves beyond all doubt that leftists are the actual racists. And what MLB is doing is transferring wealth from Americans (fans, and even people able to play who aren’t allowed to) and giving the money to foreigners who usually send the money back home (AKA out of the USA), while taking jobs from American citizens, all in the name of ‘diversity’ {sic}. These leagues are the opposite of ‘diverse’, but still lecture us.
democRATs like to throw the phrase “systemic racism” around but forget THEY ARE THE SYSTEMic. Always talking about race, dividing people into groups by race and pitting them against each other by race IS RACISM! In reality, the left is working to eliminate blacks (and other so-called minorities) from many aspects of society, including product packaging.
Leftists have also tricked black people into believing freedom means killing their own babies, and mutilating / sterilizing those that survive for the ‘trans’ agenda (MLB is all-in on this). If you make it to adulthood, you live in large cities that democRATs (who founded the KKK) control, that are basically modern-day plantations offering the illusion of freedom with the new crop being votes.
If you don’t fall in line and vote democRAT**** you are called “Uncle Tom” or worse. And if you make it out of all of that, then dare to say ‘the wrong thing’, you get cancel cultured as they are now doing to Kanye West and Kyrie Irving.
*The Providence Grays (NL) and New York Metropolitans (AA) played the first postseason inter-league game (pre-dating the World Series), which was won by the Grays 6–0 on October 23, 1884. It was a 3-game series (not the best of the 3), with the Grays winning all 3 games.
**We ran the numbers from the MLB Press Release from April, 2022, three times and there is one missing. Although maybe they aren’t from space…
***Until fairly recently, we had to put up with foreign communists: Samantha Bee (Canada), Trevor Noah (South Africa), and both James Corden and John Oliver (of PrettyGood Britain). With the first two gone, and James leaving, we just need to deport John.
****In POTUS election years, blacks vote approximately 90% for democRAT candidate, which explains why they are where they are as a group, and why they complain so much. All Republicans did was free you FROM the democRATs after the Civil War…

‘Taking a Kaep’, More Bewildering Nonsense From Feces-Obsessed Sports Host & Lawyer AND White Communist Mike Florio
Published
1 year agoon
September 29, 2023We have stated before that writing about the same subject more than once in a row is kind of boring, but we’ve done it before anyway. We even once wrote on the same basic topic for FOUR days in a row (HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE).
And sure enough, he lied to get that position and hasn’t followed through on his promises (including releasing the J6 videos, despite leaks proving what the left claim happened in fact did not). But that is a topic for another time.
Today we are (sort of) “Groundhog Day’ing” Mike Florio (just dealt with HERE), while mainly focusing on the ‘anti-Rick Monday‘, Colin Kaepernick (covered prior HERE).
Colin was “28-30 as a starter for his career, and was 3-16 in his last two seasons”. That is NOT a great track record, and the often derided Tim Tebow was actually 8-6.
While correctly admitting that Colin’s NFL career was over, unless someone decides to take a deep dive into both insanity and communism, Florio attributed it to the wrong cause.
The headline was “It’s over for Colin Kaepernick, and it has been”, which on its face sounds reasonable, but as is so often true, ‘the devil is in the details’.
Colin played his last game in the NFL on Saturday, January 2, 2017 (the last regular season game for the 49ers during the 2016 season; Mike claimed the game was played on New Year’s day), leading a 23-25 losing effort against the Seattle Seahawks, ending their season at 2-14.
One leftist search engine doesn’t even list him as a football player. Instead they label him as an “American civil rights activist”, which is code for someone who pushes communism, as nobody right of center is even labeled that, even people championing the 2nd Amendment (because self-defense is the ultimate civil right).
But with the new ‘New York Jets’ QB Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending Achilles injury, Colin decided to both have his agent contact the team, and then when he didn’t hear back he wrote them a letter himself.
After not hearing back for 5 days, the letter was ‘leaked’, obviously by Colin’s camp, in an effort to shame the Jets into replying.
Mike correctly states that “The fact that so much time has passed since he last played…makes it even less likely that anyone will give him a chance.” before then going off of the rails, adding that “It has simply been too long. It has been too long in part because the NFL successfully colluded against and blackballed Kaepernick.”
Colin had a player option for 2017 worth $14.5 MILLION and rejected it. He thought that he could both stay in the league AND make more money by doing so, and he was wrong. So nobody colluded, Colin just fraked himself.
Mike concludes with “That’s the end of the story. The NFL wanted him out. The NFL kept him out. And now, it’s far too long for Kaepernick to get back in.” In Mike’s world, no leftist is ever responsible for their own actions, but it is ALL Colin’s own fault.
But with no NFL team willing to deal with his commie nonsense, he still has options. The British Columbia Lions of the CFL (Canadian Football League) have added Colin to their ‘negotiation list’, although that doesn’t mean anything if he is unwilling to play in Canuckia.
A quick aside: it might bring in more leftist sponsor dollars, but what that meme above alludes to was uncalled for.
Contrast that to recently reading (and we highly recommend them all): ‘Harpo Speaks!’ by Harpo Marx, ‘Speaking of Harpo’ by Susan Fleming Marx (his wife), and ‘Son of Harpo Speaks!’ by William ‘Bill’ Woollcott Marx (his son), along with ‘The Garden of Allah’ by Sheilah Graham (which details life at a now long-gone famous hotel that famous people lived when in when in the Hollywood area, and which is named after the 2nd owner, silent film star Alla Nazimova and NOT the middle-eastern 1400-year-old death cult founder, although after she sold it they added the H to the end, which upset her greatly).
Those can all be found in the archive that Anna runs…
We told you all of that to tell you this…Harpo and Susan couldn’t have children because of a hysterectomy she had in her 20’s for medical reasons, so they adopted all 4 of their children, beginning with Bill, and then adding Alex, Jimmy and Minnie several years later. Those kids appreciated that they were chosen!
But Colin, whose birth parents were a white mother and black father “whose identity is unknown” (despite them knowing he was “of Ghanaian, Nigerian, and Ivorian ancestry”), is simply ungrateful to his adoptive parents, who are both white.
Had Colin spent more time on football (especially in those last couple of seasons), and less time on communism, then the 49ers would likely have won at least a few more games.
And now, since he likes doing it to other people and things (America, the NFL, 49ers, and his parents, to name just a few), in addition to crap, poop, deuce, shit, number two, and BM, we add ‘Kaep’ to the list of ways to describe taking a dump.

Feces-Obsessed Sports Host & Lawyer Goes Off Script, Nobody Cares About Your White Communist Politics Mike Florio!!
Published
1 year agoon
September 28, 2023So we were minding our own business, running some searches, and reading headlines, when we were accosted (luckily not Jim Acosta’ed) by extremism during a sweep of sports news. We don’t watch games any more, but we do still have childhood favorite teams we keep up on.
Imagine our surprise when we were suddenly told that TWITTER (we refuse to go along with that attempted re-branding, and as of this article can still access the site using that name) was filled with white people.
Yes, despite common sense and thousands of years of history proving them wrong, alt-far-left-communist-democRATs are still trying to demonize white people. How racist of them! And it has been going on since President Trump came down the escalator on June 16, 2015.
They are also still trying to demonize being a nationalist, despite that phrase simply meaning someone who loves their own country more than any others.
They have also tried to merge the two things, as if there aren’t yellow nationalists in communist China, or brown nationalists in India, or black nationalists throughout Africa.
We will also point out that neither thing (being white, OR being a nationalist) is a crime, nor is being both, no matter how much the left try to make it criminal.
So who was spreading this tired-old dis-proven mentally questionable disinformation (which is always done intentionally, as compared to misinformation which might be by accident) this time?
Just in case you weren’t paying attention, since it was listed in the headline, it was Mike ‘white communist’ Florio, a sports opinion guy and former practicing lawyer…so he should both stick to his lane AND also know better.
Why did that jackhole say? Nothing worse than he has said before, which is why we stopped listening to him long ago. But this was, literally, right in our faces, so it was impossible to ignore.
In an article where he felt the need to repeat the phrase “Twitter, now known as X” FOUR fraking times in just 1043 characters (222 words), he attacked “prominent white nationalist accounts”[SIC] for correctly calling the NFL anti-white.
All pro-sports leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB, etc.) today are anti-white and also anti-American, and have been for years. We have prior proven they are even importing players to take the jobs of Americans (regardless of race). And they have done that while also pushing Florio’s own brand of woke leftism, which includes ‘the trans‘.
He also brought up something about a Buffalo Bills player dying from ‘the vaxx‘ and being replaced by “an actor”, and while admitting that only ONE account was pushing that story, he also tried to tar many with that strange accusation.
Why? Because Florio is a ‘the covid’ disinformation AND ‘the vaxx’ pusher.
We’ve also proven that it isn’t likely that a vaccine for that could have been developed in such a short amount of time, AND that the left have pushed ‘health products’ that have been proven to harm us before…including those containing MERCURY!!!
Just like Mike, “we won’t name names or post links here”, except him because he deserves to be shamed.
Despite his love for leftist views, Florio was ‘outed’ for making comments like “”homos”, “fruits”, “queers” and “fudge packers”” on his own web site dating back to at least 2005, and only apologized in 2020 when someone went back through old articles there.
Our standard disclaimer: we don’t hate ANYONE…except communists and the communist adjacent. That said, medically mutilating children (with drugs and/or surgery), as the British say, is “right out”.
In fact, Florio is actually STILL making such comments, as he JUST referred to San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy as “Turdy” and said he can’t be a “franchise quarterback” because his last name sounds like that word for poop.
Even known fellow ass-hat leftist Peter King called that comment “one of the silliest things I’ve ever heard.”
We guess those two aren’t dating any longer now.
Mike’s site is now an affiliate of NBC Sports, which is owned by Com(munist)cast, aka Comcast, which also owns alt-far-left NBC and alt-far-lefter MSNBC (aka PMSNBC), Universal Pictures, USA Network, Bravo, Oxygen, E!, and also the now ruined Syfy (formerly Scifi, when it was good) and the streaming service Peacock, among other things. So you can actively practice avoidance of those.
And we will add that if a dishonest mental midget like Mike can make it through Law School and pass the Bar Exam, then anyone can. So if that is of any interest to you, go for it!

I’m As Fragile As Glass…Except When Banging A Porn Star, Pelicans PF Zion Williamson Represents Pansy Marxist NBA
Published

August 2, 2023While not writing, we did a lot of prep that we never used (writing headlines, finding or making memes, and even starting articles). Our motto is “if you think of something, type it in!”. It would be a shame if it went to waste, even if slightly dated. So one such topic is being merged with something that just happened.
Julius Erving, who just a year ago had his number officially retired across the entire NBA, recently released his all-time top 10 players list. Then he took a heap of grief for it, despite everyone being entitled to their own opinion, unless that opinion is communism (and then they are entitled to your opinion too, along with everything else you own).
“I have five guys who are untouchable – Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Elgin Baylor. That’s my all-time best team. …I made this decision when I was 15 years old. I’m sticking with it now all these years later.”, Erving said.
More than you would think were offended that he left current players off the list. ‘Dr. J’ explained that he only chose people whose careers were over. Cue more complaints.
Make your own list folks! THIS is the result of the monolithic thought being forced on us by leftists. If you don’t agree with what they believe (most often, wrongly), you are evil. We are surprised they haven’t called Julius a ‘white nationalist’ for leaving Lebron and Steph off of his list.
He also left probably the two most dangerous players at the end of a game off of his list: Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. If you are the opposing team, you definitely don’t want the ball in their hands with seconds left.
Personally, we don’t follow sports like we used to. We do check how our favorite teams are doing from time to time, but we never watch games anymore. We read a lot instead. We’ve also grown partial to rugby, which we tried watching because we missed sports.
We missed sports, and gave it a…’try’…LOL…and find it superior to American football, which actually developed out of…rugby. They play both ways (offense and defense) and the action seldom stops.
That is a lot of ellipsis…ellipses…periods.
So far, we’ve just watched national teams play full 15 on 15 games, except for one 7 on 7 game which we found ridiculous. The USA team is currently ranked 18th in the world.
The sheer amount of teamwork surpasses anything we’ve seen in the NBA, NFL or MLB. Our one gripe is everyone ‘hook kicking’. Most of the time, they would make those just lining up straight on, even at an angle (for conversion kicks, after a ‘try’ they line up down the field from where they enter the ‘in-goal area’, which makes the kicks a lot more difficult than an ‘extra point’ in football).
We also haven’t seen anything woke in rugby except for ONE ad running on the digital signs during one game from a few years ago.
Now back to the racist drug-addict commies.
The only thing the NBA (or NFL or MLB) players and owners want is your time and money. They do NOT care about you at all! So why care about them, and why feed that obviously left-wing behemoth?
The recent NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement (or CBA, not to be confused with the NBA’s old feeder system, the Continental Basketball Association, which Detroit Pistons legend Isiah Thomas killed off), now allows marijuana use by players. So if you still watch that sport, just know that every fucking player on that court is high.
We are not 420 friendly, we are 420 hostile.
We probably lost a few of you there, and that is okay. We have our reasons. Our philosophy is that if you are going through life high or drunk (or both), then you are living wrong.
It is still a drug, and we were right when we said that those pushing it to be legalized and accepted would ultimately push it on kids, which they ended up doing with so-called edibles.
The alt-far-left has proven that all they need is a foot in the door (see gay ‘marriage’) and pretty soon they are chopping off dicks and tits, and pumping ‘the drugs’ into our kids.
But that is a future article, and this one is about the most fragile men in the NBA. This current crop is incredibly soft (just like a MyPillow, or their Giza Dreams sheets; use promo code RealityShed or Reality Shed for a nice discount), and is likely the softest group to EVER play the game. Until then there was no such phrase as ‘load management’.
What should happen is paycheck management, as in if you don’t play you get paid less. Especially the bullshit Ben Simmons pulled. He is just one of several ‘Mr. Glass’ level players shamed, uhm, we mean named below.
Wow, this started off as such a simple writing idea. Zion and Dr. J. Oh well.
On Tuesday, June 6, 2023 (finally, this is the slightly older part…), Zion Williamson (aka ‘Mr. Glass’, like the villain character that the racist communist Samuel LEROY Jackson played in the super-hero trilogy [‘Unbreakable’ (2000), Split (2016), and Glass (2019)] by M. Night Shama Lama Ding Dong aka M. Night Shyamalan), announced he and his girlfriend were having a baby together.
Do you know what a child born out of wedlock is called? Illegitimate, or a bastard child. In fact, to promote promiscuity, the left now insists that that last term is offensive now. The bastards!
This is another example of the left changing our language to change society in the direction of their communism.
This is also similar to, what do you call someone who can speak a language but can’t read and write it? Illiterate. Equally true, although most people don’t feign offense at that.
Preparing for this, we saw a meme that started off with “The Zion Williamson Fanbase Is Dying”. Not entirely true, he is actually eating them off.
Anyway, porn star Moriah Mills followed Zion’s announcement with one of her own. She says that they have been having sex since 2021, and that he has promised to dump his girlfriend and be with Moriah. Mills even claimed that…gasp…she might also be pregnant.
Who cares, right? We only mention their ‘drama’ to point out that Zion’s many injuries haven’t prevented him from being a male slut.
His punishment for his actions (whoring and missing games) was…a 5-year rookie max extension worth at least $193 million, and possibly up to $231 million if he achieves certain incentives.
Zion has spent 4 seasons in the NBA, all with the New Orleans Pelicans. Entering the league in 2019-20 at 19 years of age. He has never played 82 regular season games in any season. He missed his entire 3rd season in 2021-22 with a foot injury. He has averaged 38.0 games a year (114 / 3) or 0.46342 of the games his team played. Pathetic!
He isn’t alone though, and since we haven’t used this analogy in a few days, here is the rest of our NBA Fab Four of slack:
Kawhi Leonard has spent 12 seasons in the NBA, entering the league in 2011-12 at 20 years old: 7 seasons with the San Antonio Spurs, 407 games (the last season there he played just 9 games), one season with the Toronto Raptors 60 games, and 4 seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers (although he missed the entire 2021-22 season with an ACL injury). He has never played 82 regular season games in any season. He has averaged 57.091 games a year (628 / 11) or 0.6962 of the games his team played. Very not good!
Anthony Davis has spent 11 seasons in the NBA, entering the league in 2012-13 at 19 years old: 7 seasons with the New Orleans Hornets / Pelicans and 466 games played, and 4 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers and 194 games played. He has never played 82 regular season games in any season. He has averaged 60.0 (660 / 11) or 0.732 of the games his team played. Fragile!
Ben Simmons has spent 7 seasons in the NBA, entering the league in 2016-17 at 20 years old. His first 5.5 seasons were spent with the Philadelphia 76ers, but he missed his entire first season with a foot injury, and also his last half season there claiming mental health issues, for 275 games played. He was then traded to the Brooklyn Nets and didn’t play his first half season there (claiming a back injury), before playing 42 games last season. He has never played 82 regular season games in any season (he just missed it in his second season, when he played 81). He has averaged 63.40 (317 / 5 played out of 7 in the league), or 0.7732 of the games his team played. Weak sauce!
Ben also thinks he is being paid to play “defense-ball” instead of basketball. Scoring is implied in the name of the game, dude!
And what of the fans who pay to attend these games thinking star players will be there and discover they overpaid for an incomplete product? Fraud!
We had already picked the antithesis of the current crop of players before seeing Dr. J’s actual list. And that player was…Wilt Chamberlain.
Unfair comparison? Hey, each of these guys all think they are the best player ever, so we will compare them to ONE of the best players ever. Or as piece of shit JJ Redick claimed, a guy who played against “firemen and plumbers”.
Wilt entered the NBA in the 1959-60 season at the age of 23. This was after 3 years of college and one year with the Harlem Globetrotters. Why? Back then, the NBA was sensical enough to not hire children. You couldn’t be drafted unless your college class had graduated, hence Wilt’s Globetrotters year.
He is listed as being active for 15 seasons, but he sat out his last season, 1973-74, in a contract dispute (see below).
His first 5.5 seasons were spent with the Philadelphia / San Francisco Warriors (they moved to SF before his 4th season). He was then traded to the new Philadelphia 76ers (the relocated and renamed Syracuse Nationals) in the middle of the season and remained there for 3.5 seasons.
He then spent the next 5 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, and when he didn’t sign his option year contract they insisted he was still required to play for them, but he had already signed with the ABA (American Basketball Association) San Diego Conquistadors as head coach and player for 2 seasons. A judge later ruled that he could coach but not play, siding with the Lakers.
Wilt ‘coached’ one season (with assistant Stan Albeck, who had also been an interim head coach before and would be a head coach again, actually doing most of the coaching, as it bored Chamberlain), then he retired.
This one really got away from us. Home stretch now though.
The number of games varied back then. It was 75 for the first season, 79 for the second, 80 each of the next 5 seasons, then 81 for one, and finally the current 82 for his last 6 seasons. That totals 1127 possible games his team played.
Wilt played 1045 regular season games (or .927241%) over 14 seasons for 74.643 games per season when the average played over those seasons was exactly 80.5 games.
He missed games in 5 seasons (3, 7, 1, 1 and 70). In his 11th season (1969-70) he played the first 9 games, rupturing his patellar tendon of his right knee in that last game, then came back for the last 3 games of the season AND the playoffs! They lost in the Finals in 7 games to the New York Knicks.
Over his career, Wilt averaged 30.1 points per game, including averaging 50.4 and 44.8 in back-to-back seasons, and including 7 other seasons over 30 points per game and 5 other seasons over 20 points per game. His last two seasons were his worst (14.8 and then 13.2).
He also averaged 22.9 rebounds per game over his career, 45.8 minutes per game (out of 48!), 4.4 assists and just 2.0 fouls per game (he never fouled out of a game). AND he claims to have slept with over 20,000 women, yet had no children (and thus no ‘baby-mommas’).
His one weakness was caused by embarrassment. He could only shoot free throws accurately underhanded, like Rick Barry (89.3% career) did. He stopped doing that and fell into Shaq territory afterwards.
One coach suggested shooting them as jump shots, which is allowed, but he felt that would only call even more attention to his deficiency, and he ended his career at 51.1% FT made (he was 28 of 32 on FT in his 100 point game).
Wilt was also a Republican who denounced black nationalists, including the Black Panthers, and he even attended MLK Jr’s funeral with Richard Nixon, who he supported for President in 1968 and 1972.
Lastly, in Wilt’s last season, at 36, he set a FG% record (.727) that stood from 1972-73 until 2019-20, and is still #2 all-time for a single season. He actually still holds 3 spots in the top 23 for that category.
This could be done with any number of good quality players, not just with Wilt. The entire point is that modern guys can play, they just can’t stay on the court BUT they want to be paid as if they did.
They just don’t make them like they used to! The NBA is now a league of soft racist (that is what BLM is) potheads pushing cultural marxism.
