Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2700848, member: 1026"] That article pales versus Russell's personal accounts and what's been written in books about it. But it gets some of it right in quotes from Red about how Russell figured out how to impact games better even when it was games against Wilt. There might be some argument for Wilt's skills illustrated by how Wilt led the NBA in assists when he wanted to (Russell could never have done that, Jordan yes) and shot a high FT% the year he shot underhanded. Wilt was stronger, bigger, likely more skilled in most areas vs Russell, yet less effective. Again bottom line 2 NCAA championships - 0, 11 NBA - 2. [/QUOTE]
