Lots of players are better than Michael Jordan. And Michael Jordan fans are the worst sports fans of all time. If you disagree with me and you would like to debate me on my program email water@galaxyhit.com .
So no one is better than Michael Jordan
What an idiotic comment😂😂😂Jordan is the GOAT without question!
They’re weren’t a lot of players better than Jordan. He’s the best SG in NBA history. Mike’s problem is basketball is a 5 on 5 game not 1 on 1. Being selfish can only get you so far.
@@doublem1975x he's the greatest of all time you 1d1ot and he's won MVPs in a 5 on 5 sport and he aint selfish ya 1d1ot
@@doublem1975x No lots of players are better. And it can be proven. And again if you disagree you can go on the podcast and show your facts.
Wilt was the greatest individual player to play the game and bill was the greatest team player. Both were fun to watch!
Good point!
In my opinion, if you are to be in consideration as the greatest, you should be able to hit better than 51% from the line
@@shovelhead56 so in your opinion, it was OK for the nba to assume players in the 1960s or even early had no blocks or steals?
Then broadcasters calling into question their technical skills because they couldn't achieve the same results as modern basketball by only having their hand on top of the ball... or the three point line benefits of increased numbers for modern players.... isn't enough...
Seems to me being the best offensively and certainly in the top two defensively definitely puts you in touch with the goat question especially when you take so much already from players like Wilt, Bill and, Elgin........

Red doesn’t mention that he met Wilt up At Kutchers when Wilt was 17 and begged him to play for Celtics Wilt said no and Red never got over it!!
What Red Auerbach doesn't say is that the Phil. Warriors owner WANTED Wilt to be a Ball Hog. Their team wasn't TRYING to prepare for TEAM SUCCESS. Wilt was dedicated to his boss.
If Wilt had been in Boston, would he have been LESS dedicated to his BOSS?
And part of that was that they just didn't really have anyone else. Arizin was a good shooter but at the end of his career, Rodgers could pass pretty well but couldn't throw it in the ocean shooting wise. Gola was one of those jack of all trades master of none types. Everyone else was just there to fill the roster. So it was really Chamberlain or nothing.
not only that. i know for a fact Red was trying to recruit wilt to his team and never got him. and so he is simply trying to defend russell here. and is mad that he never had wilt. in fact. wilt TOTALLY changed his game 7 years in when a coach stood up to him to stop with the stuff he was talkinga bout with practices and to not score as much and be more team. since red ws already a legenedary coach somehwat wilt would have listened to him. geez.
Wilt was dedicated to Wilt.
@@the_Sage71 ignorant statement. He was very loyal to his coaches. Red was salty and defending Russel. Besides, that game the coach benched Wilt and eventually lost was not won already as Red says, it was close. So as a matter of fact, what he said was not true. Maybe he doesn't remember too well.
I loved it when Russell and Chamberlain were asked how they would cover Shaq. Russell said the first thing I do is run his ass up and down the court till he was crying All the time he was saying that Chamberlain was nodding his head vigorously.
Kids nowadays have no idea how well Russell (and Wilt) could run up and down the court.
@@steverenom.299 they could run like guards, great ball handlers & fundamental skills
Puhleeze. If you couldn't get Shaqs attention at both ends of the floor like Hakeem/Duncan....you were getting throttled by Shaq
@@FuShengAlex Puhleeze. Shaq would not have been able to get to both ends of the floor by the second half with
either one of these two guys running him into the ground. Shaq is NOT throttling Russell or Wilt, I can guarantee you
that. You have absolutely no idea how these two could run the court, do you?
@Stevereno M. Russell couldn't score well enough to hang with Shaq in a 7 game series. Primarily defense first guys got eaten alive by Shaq.
Next.
The Whole Thing that some of These Commenters are not picking up on what Red is saying it that it's All About The Team! Teamwork!
Obviously
yep, but red is just mad that he didn't get Wilt on the Celtics
@@bbb8997 I think he did ok without him.
@@bbb8997 Red didn't WANT Wilt.
He ALREADY had the dynasty built and winning championships - and Wilt would have been a disruptive influence.
@@bricefleckenstein9666 nope, why did red reach out to wilt? red was a control freak & knew wilt on another team could challenge the Celtics. I'm a lifelong Celtics fan for over 60 years;however, red was an asswipe as a human being
One of my favorite stories about Russell was when Red was hounding Wilt and Wilt wanted a piece of Red, Russell got in between them and said if you want to get to him you gotta get through me. I just love that loyalty. Didnt see race. Just respect.
Red speaks the truth.
Costas conveniently doesn't mention Sam Jones and John Havlicek in 1969 to improve his argument that the Lakers were better than the Cs.
I did zNOT know about any balloons! Thanks, Red!
Red can't argue against his own experience in reality.
Was at The Windjammer Lounge, Hyannis....late 60s with my parents. Few people scattered about. In walks Sam Jones...goes to the end of the bar and orders a drink. Big moment for a kid.
Mr. Russell is the Greatest winner in sports history! College championships, Gold medal in Olympics, all those championships as a player. And then championships as a coach! No argument.
So tired of the "wilt can't win" falsehoods. Bro get real, if you really think Wilt who shot the ball far better than Russell ever did while still getting the same number of rebounds and playing just as good as defense, you're just letting your anti-Wilt bias show through. There's no world where if you switch the teams Russell and Wilt were on, that magically Wilt is now causing the Celtics to lose or Russell is causing philly or la to win. Period.
Ge grabbed 55 boards off of Russell too
And I'm tired of people defending Wilt, he was a selfish player that's why he didn't win as much, he had great teams just like everyone else. When the moment arrives late in games, he disappears! You love his stats good for you, most of them mean nothing when yo don't win! His own teammates said he was a hard person to deal with as his coaches said the same. If Wilt played for the Celtics with his me first attitude, they win two titles! He had the two best talented teams of the 60's and 70's those sixes teams and the Lakers teams had more talent than any teams of the 60's and 70's, if you don't believe me, go back and check.
Red was gangsta AF
stats don't mean shit championships do!! WILT HAS THE STATS BUT BILL HAS THE RINGS!!! NUFF SAID.

If you truly believe that I don't want to hear anything else about JORDAN
Wilt was dedicated to do what the team wanted from him. in Philly, they wanted him to score a lot, be the main focus. notice, when he got a good coach and team around him, his points went down, assists up, and won a title. Now, if he got the same coaching with the LAL, then LAL would have beaten the Celtics and Wilt would have won more championships. Would have been looking at Wilt, West, Baylor as the greatest team ever.
on paper Wilt, West, and Baylor should be the greatest trio ever
@@HiNRGboy an example in two years at the lakers these three great players played on 14 games together....
When Kareem won his first championship Elgin was a shadow of his former self because of knee injuries and Jerry West missed all five games against the Bucks....
The following year Elgin retired wilt became captain...33 straight wins never equaled beat the champions with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 9 out of 11 games and won the championship that year....
Wilt was 35 and Jerry West was only a couple of years from retirement....
Well how come he lost to the NY Knicks and even against Willis Reed in a game 7 where Reed was also injured. Willis Reed kept Wilt to 10 field goals and 2 for 9 in the paint.
Red just mad cause he couldn’t capitalize off of Wilt’s abilities what he failed to mention is that the nba attendance increased to 30 percent when Wilt was scoring all of those points in rebounds and the old nba commissioner was also a promoter and Wilt put the nba on the map by doing what he did. And s/o to Sonny Hill Wilt’s friend he said the Boston Celtics never had a sold out arena even with all of the winning that they was doing. Wilt was the one who was putting @$$es in the seats. And if he was “selfish” then how is it that Wilt is the only center to lead the league in assist? Wilt will never get the benefit of the doubt cause if he was not as gifted as he was they would “How could you be that big and not dominate?” So he used he height and physical/athletic gifts the best way he could and here comes the bull💩 talk. All this does is just justify to me that Wilt is the best center to ever play the game 🎤 #Micdrop.
yep, and I'm a Celtics fan for over 60 years🏀🏀🏀🏀
"...increased to 30 percent" of what? As far as Wilt? Would'a, coulda', shoulda'....results speak for themselves...
@@randymeyer6482 By 30% and games began being televised, nationally, because of him, alone. Wilt's popularity and super abilities put the NBA on the world scene.
Red set in motion when he was in charge physical attacks on Wilt, he hired enforcers to elbow wilt in the face and body? "he [Chamberlain] took the most brutal pounding of any player ever."
Wilts early death could be attributed to an elbow to the face so hard that his teeth went straight into and through his gums, he also got an infection that infected his heart muscle?
When this same enforcement arm in the Boston Celtics decided to do this again wilt had, had enough and knocked him cold and the referees on this occasion backed Wilt, they observed these attacks and understood that no player could carry on facing this abuse?
Red got involved and even Bill Russell stayed out of it when wilt told Red "to shut up or he might end up the same way!"
Amazingly a second referees said to Red and all on the bench, "if the team had any other 7 footer who wanted to argue with an enraged Wilt" and none came forward?
Finally from a man he was their:-
"Boston Celtics forward Tom Heinsohn said his team ruthlessly exploited his only weakness, free throw shooting, with an early version of the "Hack-a-Shaq" (a tactic in which a poor free throw shooter is intentionally fouled, in the hope that he misses free throws and the team gets an easy ball possession without giving up many points). "Half the fouls against him were hard fouls," Heinsohn continued, "he [Chamberlain] took the most brutal pounding of any player ever." Chamberlain refrained from retaliating, and preferred to play through the many fouls."
Red Auerbach was a Piece of Crap! But the NBA won't acknowledge this!
Can you imagine crybaby and whiner Lebron trying to play back then? Lmao! Plus they would call travelling
and palming on him!!! Lol.
Hahahaha definetly. Generations before were Generaly more determined and they had more will to fight and stronger mentality.
Exactly finally somebody tells the truth
The Celtics did LESS "enforcement" and physical attacks on Wilt than the rest of the league did.
Mostly because they knew "let Wilt get his, we'll stop the REST of that team and WIN".
Wilt with Bill Russell is Champions 10 times in a row.
i was a celtic fan until Bill left..
Red with some revisionist history as he claims Russell was eating Wilt up in game 7 in 1969. Wilt finished with 18 points on 7/8 from the field and 27 rebounds. Mel Counts shot 4/13 from the field and Elgin 8/22. Russell with 6 points on 2/7 from field plus 21 rebounds. Wilt outplayed Russell and yet he gets tagged the loser because his coach sat him the last 6 minutes of the game. A game he played in 43 minutes. Red is lucky he had great players to coach and he is in no position to shoot arrows at Wilt.
BLAH BLAH BLAH
Ralph, you okay?
He didn't answer the question how many rings he'd win if he had Wilt instead of Bill. But my answer is two, unless he somehow can change Wilt to his 1973 version.
One of the problems with all these comments is that Bill Russell was never double teamed as far as I know. He had too many talented teammates around him. So he played his role and played it well. And he relied on his teammates to score. I can't say about what happened after 67 for Wilt. But in 1970, Wilt was severely injured and came back too early from the injury. And that has to be taken into account when looking at that Championship series in 1970. So really to me all you have is 68, 69, 71 and 73 to look at. And I'll eliminate 73 because it's his last season and the team was old. In 71 you had the rise of that great Bucks team and their young superstar. So that leaves 68 and 69 only to look at. 69 being the real headscratcher because his PPG dropped by 10.
Great point!
@wpl8275 it’s nearly impossible to find the Celtics double teaming Wilt outside of 1964
Celtics 12-14 points ahead with 4 minutes to go in 1969??? Lakers just had to call Tracy McGrady to do exactly what he did for the Rockets against the Spurs in 2004... 13 points in 35 seconds with 49 seconds left to play!!!!!!
They didn't have a 3 point line back then though.
only won by 2, with butch benching chamberlain the last 5 mins, stupid move
It's an unfair question to begin with. Red coached Russell, he won with Russell, he had a close personal relationship with Russell. He was incapable of looking at the question objectively, he of course was biased as any coach in the same circumstance given the same question would be.
What about a healthy Bill Walton -- born in '35 instead of '52 -- on the Celtics in the 60s?
Funny Jordan was in that same position as Wilt. He was terrible in Portland so Phil benched him. Pippen and co brought them back. The difference is that Phil put Jordan back in to be the hero
And, Jordan matured as a player.
@@davonbenson4361 doesn't every player matures as a player until they stop playing

Red looked exactly the same for like 40 years, lol
As I kid, Red seemed to be such an old-timer as a coach.. but he retired from coaching at the age of 53! He's 78 years old in this show and, you are correct, he doesn't look much older than he did in 1966.
@@jackm4457 Yea he kind of reversed. He looked older for his age, and then later on....he looked younger for his age.
Classic
Red has to say Russell because he coached the celtics. But remember its the team that wins not player. So this does not mean Russell was a way better player. His team is better
If Wilt would've been in Boston, they'd never lose to ANYONE EVER..Wilt was dominant but he wasn't the ball hog so many make him out to be. With the Warriors he was the main focus, but with the Sixers he was more team oriented because that was the system put in place...And so they were able to beat the Celtics at their own game.
Wilt never would have taken the crap that Red dished out to Russell. Red would ride Russ the hardest so that the other members of the team would take note. As Red said in this clip, Wilt was already "spoiled" by the time he came to the NBA. If Wilt had been drafted by the Celtics, he would have demanded a trade in the middle of his first season. Bill Russell was once asked who was the greatest player of his time. Russ answered, "No doubt Wilt was the best..... but I was better." And then about 15 seconds of that cackle laugh.
Shutup troll
Red sorta didn't answer it
Physically no comparison
The ? Is could have Red coached him to be a winner
Red is the dirtiest coach in NBA history Red was having his players do vicious attacks on WILT CHAMBERLAIN for years
wilt was a great. a legend. but it's russell who can rightly be called champion. wilt experienced championships. russell was a champion and the champion
Sam Jones won 10 championships. Pretty safe to say that they needed him. He hit two series winning shots.
@@IWannaUnaliveMyself34 WINS WITHOUT BILL RUSSEL SIR
@@coreythomas3633 10 championships
Red is the biggest homer coach there is! He desperately wanted Wilt on his Celtics team. Wilt instead went to Kansas to play college ball, meaning Boston could not draft Wilt in the first round as Philly used their “territorial” pick to draft Wilt. After this, Red always held a grudge against Chamberlain. Deep down though, Red wanted Wilt as the team’s center and not Russel.
This the first video I've seen by you that was actually good.
You are annoyed. You are in love with Michael Jordan. And you are scared to go on my program to show me your facts on what ever you disagree on.
@@theuniversegalaxynba no hes a Lepussy fan lol
That championship game is on here. That is pure BS. Anything to try to cut Wilt Down. All of the old Celtics have selective memories, when it comes to Wilt. Mel Counts didn't score a point, period. West brought them back and he was defended strongly and couldn't keep scoring. Counts had one shot go in, but he traveled before it and it wasn't counted. Red was big time salty that Wilt wouldn't make an effort to play for him. When Wilt was a teenager, Red's mouth was watering to get him to play for him. He would have put Russell in a forward position so fast it would make a head spin.
Costas using terms like "lesser team" referring to the Celtics... thems fightin' words
Yeah, but the Lakers had some great teams in the 60s, very talented, likely more talented than the Celtics year in and year out, but Boston always beat them. I think Red got a kick out of that fact, because it's proof that superior coaching and a strong team concept beats a set of talented players.
From the greatest mind and architect in the history of the NBA.
The year Wilt won his first championship he led the league in assists. If winning is the ultimate goal, why didn't he do it more often?
he led the league in total assists in '67-'68, the season after winning his 1st championship
@@oteliogarcia1562 He WAS third during the championship season though.
Which gave him the IDEA to chase assists the next season - especially with Oscar hurt part of that season.
Note that Oscar had more assists PER GAME - but since he missed several games, he ended up 3'd (I think) on the "total assists for the season" list.
It’s because Basketball is a team sport.
Tommy, when Wilt was in Philly, WINNING was NOT THE ULTIMATE GOAL.
IT WAS THE OWNER WHO DEMANDED THAT WILT BE A BALL HOG, NOT WILT.
he didnt lead the league in assists.
Thats a LIE that people keep on saying...
he was the player with more assists in one season..thats not leading the league in assists.
Red watched how Wilt developed. Wilt attended Red's camps as a high schooler. I've always said the same thing about blocks, but Wilt was preparing for that HOF Volleyball career.
Red worked at Kutsher's Hotel in the Catskills and Wilt was a Bellhop there at the time/ Most big hotels then had basketball teams.
Wilt is the greatest basketball player ever and record books proves it! He hold 72 NBA records. All said!
@ronbonora7872 individual records yes, Wilt was an amazing athlete, player and man. TEAM SPORT though.
@@ronbonora7872 Wilt owns 59 individual records, 2 shared. Still double number 2
Rebounds is a team stat and Wilt was a better rebounder than Bill Russell. Also a better passer. Got more assists which means more points created for his team.
He did everything all around very good to great. Defense included. It made his team better. Was just bad at freethrows
In all honesty, I think Wilt would have won just as much with that Celtics supporting cast. They had some really great players for a very long time. I mean if you start asking these questions then you can ask what if Bird and Magic swapped teams. It’s all pointless really.
WRONG
Red was a straight up hater
with better coaching Wilt would have won 11,,,12,,,,13,,,14,,in a row....i know a COACH that can do that NOW
Red trying to be diplomatic, Wilt was not interested in championships , he was interested in stats.
Wilt was Peyton Manning to Russel's Tom Brady
ua-cam.com/video/0HB_C5PsT6A/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/WQWfvAmH6_o/v-deo.html
He's lying Wilt used to catch shots and block shots and diflect shots to other players, the Celtics only beat Wilt's team buy under ten points.
I ALWAYS will look at Wilt as a T-REX in the NBA. His records and individual stats not withstanding, his 100 point game. 50ppg. Wilt was not a team player that Bill was. RIP both. But Bill Russell is the GOAT.
The only center in NBA history to have ever led the league in assists.....wasn't a team player? Stick to your fantasy, I guess.
I think they would won 15 in a row
For the Celtics, Russ made way more sense than Wilt.
"Never an integral part of a team concept". The 66-67 Sixers- who overthrew Red's green dynasty- might have something to say about that.
I love Red, but he knew good and well he would have won just as many titles with Wilt, if not more.
Think about this:
If Russell, without Red's coaching, had played for the Sixers in 1966, would he have set the NBA record for wins in a season like Wilt did with 25 points and 24 rebounds a game?
If Russell, had played a few years later for the Lakers, with a totally different bunch of guys, would he have set the record for wins and won the title and Finals MVP again in 1972 like Wilt did?
But who was better player. Don't counts championships. Who was actually a better player??? I say Wilt.
Those Celtics stay in SPIN CITY mode. One teammate will tell you Russell blocked most shots to his teammates.
A few minutes later they'll talk about how often he blocked more than one shot on the same play.
They never tie-in the fact that if Russell blocked more than one shot, the first block obviously didn't go to Russell's teammate. It might have even... went out of bounds.
You are not serious are you? Do you not understand that MOST shots could be blocked to teammates and
OFTEN he could block more than one shot on a play? Get out your dictionary and look up the meaning of
those two words. Lmao! If there were 10 plays and he blocked 6 of them to teammates (MOST) and he
had more than one block (OFTEN) on 4 of them then there is no problem with what was said. Math is not
your strong point I guess, but then neither is knowledge of basketball history. Lmao!!!
Those narratives about Wilt are so fake. He was a great player but badly coached. I'd say his flaw was exactly that he was too OBEDIENT to his coaches.
What would you expect Auerbach to say. What he is also saying is he wasn’t as good a coach as believed if Wilt was what he said and couldn’t get him to play any different. Wilt was much better than Russell and Red will never admit that. It’s a lot like Brady. Great player? Yes. But championships are won by teams not individuals and if you’re not on a great team no matter who you are you don’t win championships…period.
Red wanted Wilt and didn't get him! He remained bitter forEVER towards him after that! Other than Russell having better teams, there was LOTS of other things that contributed to him winning that many championships! Wilt was FAR superior on BOTH sides of the ball to Russell!!!
I thought that for a long time. However, I read Bill Simmons’ book that had a chapter on the subject. To be sure, he’s super-biased for the Celtics.
He said that Red Auerbach himself questioned whether he could control Wilt.
When other teams were asked about having Wilt (I think it was the Clippers), they hesitated to say they would want him with all his baggage.
I think if you could get him to play team ball, he would definitely be better.
Simmons also disputes the notion that Russell had a better team around him than Chamberlain (something I also believed a long time).
Russell had the brains of a coach.
😂😂😂 😂
Red is right though, Wilt wasn't a team player and got special treatment. Not taking anything away from Wilt probably greatest individual player of all time but not coachable.
absurd comment. wilt was a first a movie star, second a BB teamate
I don't think you will see another runs like that one by the Celtics. The players wouldn't put up with it nor would their agents plus there's more teams in the league now. The coaches don't have that kind of control over the players anymore. Scoring and showboating is where it's at now. Shoe deals and fat contracts.
Not true. Russel had his own practice regimen apart from the team.
red didn't make Russell work hard in practice, red holds a grudge against wilt & wilt's 2 championship teams are far superior to any Russell teams
When he was player/coach. Gee, that's an important fact to leave out. You're a fool.
@@bbb8997 I said that earlier, but you said it better. Short and sweet.

@@bbb8997 Exactly. And one of those coaches imported the Red's mentality directly from the Celts to Los Angeles. Result: Wilt led the league in rebounding and shot 70% from the field, and the Lakers won 33 games in a row en route to the NBA championship, where Wilt played with a wrapped broken shooting hand and won Finals MVP.
talked for 5 minutes and never answered the question
Wilt scored more than Russell. Russell was at least equal in every other individual category, and a VASTLY SUPERIOR TEAM PLAYER. If they had switched teams Russell still would have won much more.
yeah sure he would have! LOL

Stop lying and learn history Russell wasn't nowhere near Wilts level Boston won more because they was the dirtiest team in the league along with the dirtiest coach of all time WILT wasn't in the business of purposely injuring players WILT understood it was a game and the players was trying to provide for their families Boston was desperate
@@steverenom.299 Learn history and quit talking the Lakers coach didn't like WILT and sabotage that championship game silly after the Lakers had it won by benching WILT which was unheard of and not allowing him back in the game purposely. Then ran and resigned after the game learn your facts
All these guys trash Wilt! It is a team sport. The Celtics were stacked for years.
Some pretty incisive comments from Red Auerbach. Wilt is overrated. Check out his playoff stats: 22 PPG on 52% FGs and 46.5% on FTs in 47MPG. Compare that to Kareem's career playoff totals: 24.3 PPG on 53.3% FGs and 74% FTs in only 37.3 MPG. Wilt was an absolute detriment for his team at the free throw line and he lacked the drive to win that all the all-time great ones have.

Wilt 40 points average included a few games over 50/ 60 against the celtics and 55 rebounds and unknown number of steals and blocks and he still managed 55 rebounds against Bill Russell in one game with less time to do it because he was concentrating on scoring on his managers suggestion!
In any era to score 30 points a game average, 23 rebounds, unknown number of blocks, steals and have the stamina to average 46 minutes, that's Wilts legacy and no one has come close as an individual to match it?
It was more the difference in HOW they blocked shots. Red said Russell would try to tip the shot so that he or a teammate could get the ball. Chamberlain, on the other hand, would smack the ball smack the ball with force & intimidation, but many times, the ball would go out of bounds, and the opponent would get the ball back.
That is the difference between the two when it came to blocking shots.
You don't listen well, do you? If Wilt blocks 3 shots out of bounds and so the other team gets the ball back and Russell
blocks 2 shots back to one of his teammates, who is smarter and has helped his team more? Try to pay attention.
@@danbratten3103 If you compare wilts Career in his earliest years, not to basketball but pro football?
Then, he was playing ironman basketball?
Bill Russell was never the quarterback in the Boston Celtics; he was arguable defence? His job is/was to neutralise the best player on the opposition, which he did magnificently by his sheer presence! "Yes!" he passed the ball and could dunk very well, but he paved the way for scoring) that was his goal
Wilt in his earlier career was the quarterback, the Wide receiver, most of the defensive positions, and in each and every role he performed beyond expectations?
But still, he's only got so much time in each role, and arguably, he's going to spend more time in offence because he's got to match the number of points scored by the opposition?
Yes, he hit the ball out of bounds more than Bill, but that's fully expected.
He's reducing the pressure on himself and his teammates and getting a breather while he regrouped to play his other roles in the team!
That's not a fault we should blame him for? The player he most wanted to be was a centre like Bill Russell?
But he stepped up to the quarterback role and all the other ironman positions because he was asked to by not only his coach, managers, but the owners who wanted to bring in the crowds and save their business from disappearing?
That's not even taking into account wilts unbelievable level of awful physical abuse suffered by wilt through his career or the nba referees who were arguably told by the nba to ignore it?

@Allister Mcginlay I agree with you. Wilt was amazing! That fact that he stole owns over 50 records, 50 years after he stopped playing is mind boggling!
Auerbach was just salty because he couldn't land Wilt.
Lie nr. 1: Auerbach DID give Russell a special treatment.
Lie nr. 2: Russell was definitely not owning Wilt in 1969 Game 7, and it was West, who was bringing the Lakers back into game while Wilt was still in the game. Plus, Sam Jones fouled out!!!
The crap they both took on Wilt in this interview is disgusting.
Ignoring huge things and blaming Wilt for loses, when his teammates bricked the hell out in the big ones pretty much in every case.
Wilt rejected Red's draft offer and apparently Red does not take rejections well ..
I think Wilt regretted it more.
I thought Wilt was a territorial pick of Philadelphia? Did Boston have a chance to draft him?
Red was a bitter old man
@@bbb8997 Bitter about what , winning 11 championships. He wasn't bitter , he was bragging !
@@oteliogarcia1562 Correct - Red never had a chance to even TRY to draft Wilt.
You obviously know everything EXCEPT THAT. Been voting republican for 30 years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you are part of the rason the Repbulicans keep doing the things there doing because they do not have to change since people like you keep supporting them. If you go by the whole picture there are more questionable things about Republicans than Democrats. Now I know you will disagree because you have been brainwashed by the conservative media so if you like you can go on my program and show me your facts on what ever you disagree on .
Here's what's worst.
Modern day people look at Wilt's Career and ASSUME THE PHIL. WARRIORS WERE TRYING TO WIN TITLES.
THE WARRIORS... WERE NOT TRYING TO WIN TITLES.
Wilt Chamberlain was a PLAYER!
NOT THE OWNER!!
ED GOTTLIEB, the OWNER of the Warriors ...
WAS NOT TRYING TO WIN!!
The Philadelphia Warriors PLAYERS JOB was not to WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS; IT WAS TO SELL TICKETS.
ED GOTTLIEB WAS PAYING WILT TO LEAD THE LEAGUE IN SCORING.
NOT WIN TITLES.
THE PHILADELPHIA WARRIORS SOLD OUT THEIR GAMES!!
Boston Fans: SYRACUSE!! PFFFFT!! (Half full stadium because everybody knows the Celtics gonna win ugly).
Wilt , shaq were overrated and selfish
your over rated and a fool!
I'm not sure Id say overrated. I think complacent might be a better term as both were superior athletically and didn't have the same work ethic and drive as other lesser athletes had. Red always loved those overachievers who did it with work, intelligence and dedication.
As is Lebron James.
Clown how is they over rated and u don't lead the league in assist if u selfish
Wilt’s ego made him a worse player than Russell despite his superior ability. We’ve seen it a million times. Any great player that sacrifices stats for team success wins. Any great player that maximizes stats loses. We should be bored by it by now we’ve seen it so much.
