I hate seeing people downplay his achievements. THE GAME IS MENT TO DEVELOP OVER TIME. He went to war came back still ballin, thats great in its own right. Straight pioneer. Deserves his top 75 spot 100%

Great to hear him talk at the end there as one of the greats from yesteryear who are no longer with us

Rest In Peace to an under appreciated founding father of the NBA

Arizin was a beast

[@DrJohnnyJ]

Wilt said that Paul Arizin was the only married man he knew that seemed anxious to get home to the wife and kids. Wilt admired that. A dedicated Catholic that went to mass every day and a "Beamer" for many years. When Wilt scored 50, it was partly because Arizin scored 20 and kept the defense from double-teaming Wilt.

@@d-rose27 harden foul baited for years. I don't think anyone from that era were thinking about foul baiting refs

@@changethechannel7225 Bruh Arizin just said he KNEW there was a high likelihood of being fouled when driving which is one of the reasons why he preferred to drive. Harden and Arizin both couldn’t be easily defended so their opponent resorted to fouling.

@@johnsondoeboy2772 because there's a high likelihood of getting fouled when you drive duh that's true to this day but Literally flopping for calls or doing the swing through move intentionally trying to force refs to call a foul. That's different. Hell lebron drives to the lane and still doesn't get calls. What arizin said was elementary basketball. It's easier to get fouled when going to the basket so what's the best way to get fouled? Go to the basket. That's not saying he was foul baiting. That's saying he was going in the lane looking for contact. Harden, CP3 And more manipulate the game and the rule book. Nothing against I'm js
