Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell's beef turned a beautiful friendship into 24 years of silence

Спорт

For most of Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain’s illustrious, decorated careers, they were in direct competition with each other. They faced off in the playoffs 8 times in 10 years. And they got along well those 10 years. For this is a story of reverse beef- direct competition equaled friendship. Their playing days no longer overlapping, the end of direct competition, equaled... beef. Enjoy.

    My favorite story between these two is how Russell used to stay at wills house on Christmas Eve the day before they would play. And when the Celtics would always win, wilts mother said “Now Wilt, I don’t think that we should feed Bill so good”

    @@tobznoobs well lets just say the slights against Wilt's playing career made by the media were mostly accurate. He was a quitter and a loser. That doesn't make him a terrible person, but I can understand how Bill finally realizing that the media was right about Wilt would hurt Bill's ego. I mean that was the guy he was beating all of those years and who he stood up for and for him to give up in the finals probably hurt Bill a lot. It's kind of like how Shaq hates on every new big guy that comes up in the league because he feels like his throne of most dominant is in jeopardy because he never put as much work into basketball as he should have. Wilt not being as great as everyone thought only hurts Bill's legacy.

    One of the saddest days for me as a sports fan was when Wilt died. I was only 12 and loved hearing him on NBC or talks shows. I do believe he never got the respect he deserved from the media, and this video shows how much they wanted him to be the villain to Russell. There won't ever be someone like him, just like there won't be another Shaq, MJ, LeBron.

    Okay, I swear I remembered this and did find it. Bill Didn't go to the Press and say this. Now this is according to him but he was talking to a bunch of Iowa college kids and mixed in was a reporter. He didn't know he was a reporter but the reporter said to him, "Well you wouldn't have won that last championship if Wilt wasn't hurt." Now this doesn't excuse him saying what he said, but I feel tis another point that it was the Basketball Media trying to stir stuff up that caused the falling out. You can see him talk about this in this interview, kzread.info/dash/bejne/fX6km9tqXdbJmMY.html The timecode is 2:51:38.

    My grandparents were the ultimate oldheads and lived through this era and followed it pretty closely (living in Delaware so they did actually see Wilt play a little bit). 50 years later they still said there hadn't been a rivalry as good as this one in part because it was so different then any other team sport rivalry that had happened before. They said it was like having MJ and Lebron go at each other every other week and that a lot of otherwise disinterested fans would still check the box scores when they would play to see who did better. Happy to see any coverage about the rivalry because I think a lot of fans really don't have any exposure to it.

    What made their rivalry unique was how often they faced each other. They played around 16 games against each other every year and had great battles down to game 7’s in the playoffs(Bill is 10-0 in game 7’s so the winner was though a bit obvious). Imagine Kobe v Jordan 16 times a year for 10 years straight.

We live in an age when anyone pre-Bird and Magic (except for Kareem who was grandfathered in) was a "plumber" and completely dismissed and disregarded. All their titles, awards, and accomplished are dismissed, to the point where I've seen many on KZread and twitter claim Wilt's 100-point game never actually happened, and Bill's 11 rings aren't seen as impressive in the slightest because "bruh, there were only like 8 teams then!" This league has a wonderful tradition and history, stretching back over three quarters of a century, and it's all sadly so often completely tossed away by the media and fans today.

    First off, as always, I loved this episode of Beef History. And great job once again by Clara Morris. But I wanna add a couple things about Game 7 of the 1969 NBA Finals. 1: When Wilt Chamberlain got hurt during the contest, he legitimately tore a muscle in his leg. But nobody knew Chamberlain was hurt that bad, especially Bill Russell. 2: The real villain of Game 7 was Butch van Breda Kolff, the Lakers head coach, for not letting Wilt back in the game. Russell didn’t know van Breda Kolff was keeping Wilt off the court - and keep in mind, Chamberlain DID want to play. But Chamberlain and van Breda Kolff hated each other’s guts. And THAT’S why Bill Russell’s Celtics won the title.

Bill Sharman won 4 championships as a player for the Celtics before becoming head coach of the Lakers. And one of Sharman’s assistant coaches was K.C.

    ​​@@matthewlo7868 Yeah, they are from USA, but here is a free advice: soccer/football (that sport that a kicker is actualy loved) is popular in the billions outside of US. So if this channel wants to grow and make more money it's in the best interest that the Secret Base think less about US and more about us in regards to some of the videos.

    It must be a shame for Wilt that he didn't have that many championship because he would always run into his main Kryptonite in Bill Russell's Boston Celtics and that's been a trend during the course of his career.

    @@jasonnelson6624 Chamberlain is notorious for underperforming in big games. Game 7 of the 1962 and 1965 EDF are the biggest examples of this as he took FAR less shots in those games compared the his regular season average. Despite having better teams (which I can elaborate on if you'd like) from 1966 on, he only beat Russell once in that time frame. 1966 is a rare example where Wilt played almost as good as possible (apart from his 8/25 freethrow shooting which is awful, even for him) where his teammates failed him. He beat Russell in 1967 on the back of averaging a triple double though five games. 1968 he led his team to a 3-1 lead before blowing it, the first in NBA history. This was just the second game 7 won on the road in playoff history and the first since the BAA and NBL merger. In 1969, Wilt's Lakers were clear favorites for the title and went down 2-0 to the Warriors in the first round in games where Wilt could have played better. They then won for the first 2-0 comeback in a 7 game series. In the finals, they then blew a 2-0 lead with Chamberlain having some ugly showings, meaning this was the first blown 2-0 lead in finals history. This was also the first of just four game sevens in the finals won by the road team. So he has some very bad individual games, the first blown 3-1 lead, and the first blown 2-0 finals lead on his resume, all while having usual drop offs in production. Chamberlain was the biggest playoff choker until Karl Malone.
