Both Wilt and Russell were very impressed with Petit. Russell told how after Petit met his grandfather he said, "Pleased to meet you Mr. Russell." Later the old man told Bill, "That is the first time in 91 years a white man called me mister." Petit was/is a class act.
@@VictorLionsTV Definitely!! Bob Pettit is the 2nd best player from the 50s based off accomplishments such as 2 MVPs, rebounding leader, 2 scoring titles and a championship to show for it. Crazy since he was drafted in 1954. Only thing stopping him from being the best was George Mikan's Lakers dynasty from 50-54.
The lay up finger roller :))))
Very good moves, definitely underated

the first real 4. Very underated career.
I agree, he is very underrated.
He was the best player until Wilt.
Was still the best PF in the 1960s.
Best PF until Karl Malone.
