Some say he took it easy because he didn't want to hurt anybody.

The story goes when he was retired and in his mid 40s Wilt played a pick up game against a super competitive Magic in his prime.

He pissed Wilt off so he stopped and announced "There will be no more lay ups in this gym" and he went on to carry that out, magic couldn't score on him, he blocked every single attempt Magic took.

Wilt Chamberlain : ". . . and then Magic didn't score another point. I blocked every damn one of 'em."

Bill Russell : "That's great Wilt. Sounds like a lot of fun."

Wilt Chamberlain : "Did I ever tell you about how I scored more than a hundred points in a single game? Nobody will ever come close to that. That's a record that will NEVER be broken!"

Bill Russell : "Hey Wilt. . . have I ever shown you my rings? I've got five for my right hand, five for my left hand. . . and one for the ladies."

Russell had a super team around him. Wilt did beat him once by himself. That one chip is like Wilt on the nets this year beating GS.

This isn't remotely true. Hall of Famers Hal Greer and Billy Cunningham were on that team.

It was Billy's second year in the NBA, he was not that big of a factor. Hal was 30 but he had a solid year. It was still mostly Wilt with some help from Hal.

The Boston team that Wilt beat had HOFers: Bill Russell, Sam Jones, John Havlicek, Bailey Howell, Tom Sanders, Wayne Embry and Don Nielson. So he went up against 7 HOFers all in their prime years and beat them with 1 other prime HOFer and a sophomore that didn't contribute that much.

So ill still stick to saying how impressive it is. There arent even many USA Olympic teams that have that many HOFers on it. Some All-star teams dont have that many HOFers on it.

If Warriors add Lebron and Kawhi next year they wont be as much of a super team as that.

Also it didnt take much to be a HOFer back then...

Cunningham scored 18.5 a game, grabbed 7.3 rebounds and had 2.5 assists. I'd hardly say he wasn't a big factor.
