I doubt those guys shot many threes or played much on the perimeter.
No, but there also weren't threes. They both took a decent amount of midrange shots. One of Wilt's favorite shots was almost identical to Dirk's iconic one-legged fadeaway.
Wilt mostly facilitated out of the post to shooters and cutters, but Walton often orchestrated the offense from the top of the key or the elbows. Although, he mostly made sick passes from the block.

They might have gotten to something like Brook Lopez levels of shooting, although Wilt was such a bad FT shooter it seems unlikely for him.
Jokic is on such another level, though. He's shooting from three better than Dirk, on higher volume, and he's scoring around the basket more efficiently than prime Shaq. It's really insane.
