Wilt set an NBA record with 55 Rebounds in one (1) game... against Bill Russell

[thedangerouskitchen]

Imagine if Wilt had the same level of talent around him that Russell was blessed to have over his entire career... Chamberlain may have never lost a game, period.

[Uncontroversial]

Nobody from that era would even make it into the nba today, so who cares?

Wilt would have cleaned up in the 90’s tho

In a loss….where he shot 15 for 42. Because Russell owned his soul.

Renowned shooter Lu Dort just passed Michael Jordan for 3pm (good for 364th of all time) in just over 5 seasons on way less attempts.

Post of the year.

Wilt had the better roster from 67-69 and only beat Russell once in that span.

Russell had more HOF teammates than he had rings.

Don't bother Googling this either. Just know that it's right.

Lol

[Da Stars.]

And Dennis Rodman would get 25 percent of todays rebounds.

It's no secret Russell played alongside more HOF/All Star level talent than any other player in the history of the NBA (aside from LeFraud)... so I'm not sure why that fact triggers so many people.

The clip in the OP talks about Wilt losing four (4) Game 7's to Russell/Celtics by a combined 9 points, even with inferior talent around him. With equal supporting casts Wilt would literally destroy Russ with respect to Rings.

Wilt averaged 30/48% agaianst Russell... and if he had a bad game his teams were toast. Russell averaged like 16-PPG on 37% shooting in his head-head games against WIlt... he had the luxury of being an Offensive scrub because of the super-stacked rosters he played on.

So you're wrong: The "Celtics" owned Wilt (and every other player/team during that era), not Russ. Put him on the same rosters Wilt had his entire career and Russell would be lucky to win even one Ring.

True story.

Don't be mad because Philly's own Wilt blew a 3-1 lead in 68 and a 2-0 lead in 69.
