In sports, the word fast often refers to top speed while quick refers to the ability to accelerate at a rapid rate despite this not being the definition of either word. Could you mention a single clutch brain dead moment that Wilt made in the clutch? Look up the endings of the 1960, 1962, 1965 (especially) and the 1968 Wilt vs Russell series and you will see that Wilt made far more plays in the clutch than Bill. The difference between the two was that Russell’s teammates stepped up in the clutch while Chamberlain’s wilted.

When Wilt was asked to name his top 5 of all time he did not hesitate to first mention Larry Bird. Then he hesitated…and mentioned Larry Bird a second time. Then it was Russell’s turn and he mentioned Larry without any thought needed. To have these two late greats both mention Larry in their top 5 tells me all that I need to know about what the past greats think of him. This interview is a treasure because Wilt would be gone soon after, and now we have lost Bill. I have this saved where I can always easily watch it again. Hearing Bill”s contagious laugh is alone worth it!

@@loesrohof5161 Agreed about Bird being the greatest ALL-AROUND player ever. Some ppl get confused when I say that Michael Jordan is the GOAT, but that Bird has the best ALL-AROUND game ever. But I explain that the reason I have MJ as the GOAT is due to how dominant he was on the offensive AND defensive end, but when it comes to showcasing a player's great attributes (clutch shooting, FT shooting, passing, rebounding, making other teammates better, mentally tough, etc.), no other player can match Bird in a broad sense of what he could (& did) do on the court.

Not really. There's an interview with Russell somewhere on You Tube where he was asked who was the greatest of all time. Russell immediately said, "Well, the question you really mean to be asking is: when you're a player in the NBA what is your job? Most people will say to play professional basketball." Russell shook his head. "Our job is to do one thing and one thing only: win championships. That's what an NBA player is paid to do. Win championships. That's it. Now I ask you, who did that better than anyone?" At which point he broke into that famous smile and high pitched cackle.

Wilt Chamberlain before the knee injury , was the greatest player ever and that included everyone since : Jordan, LeBron, etcetera . Chamberlain even though 7'1" and huge long arms could lick a coin of the top of the backboard . He only needed to jump from his sneaker souls to floor a couple inches to get a dunk or rebound . But the bottom of his feet souls were as high or higher off the ground as the amazing short armed 5'3' Muggsy Bogues dunking . When he scored those 100 points he was taking the ball full court, dribbling between his legs, behind his back and so on . The reason he only won two NBA titles is because his coaches and team owners wanted wilt to be the show to bring in more revenue, no team game . His career spanned from 1959 to 1973 . He won his first NBA ring in 1967 Philadelphia 76rs and his last year of his career with the 1973 LA Lakers Russell said once we knew Wilt was going to get his 30 or more points but we knew that since we played team ball we would win . And that was the truth . He did play on an LA team that played team ball in the NBA finals and they won and wilt retired after that . fact was after his knee injury his mobility was severely limited . He lifted weights, put on weight and became an impenetrable force under and near the basket . but it was sad to see he could only jump up and down and no more jump forward, backward, or laterally like he did prior to the severe knee injury . Post knee injury around 1970 to end of his career, He had to crouch down bend his knees before he jumped and so many times opponents would take the ball away from him or tie him up. back then orthopaedic physicians were butchers really . they had no idea of reconstructing a torn acl ligament which is one of the things he lost because of his knee injury .
