He only had 5 cards during his career, and two are almost nonexistent. Compare that to Lebron.

I watched part II last night. One of the finest documentaries I have watched on Netflix - job well done. I actually learned a lot from the series, especially about the Celtics during that period.

Good stuff. Didn't know about his on again, off again friendship with Wilt. Also didn't realize how many Game 7's the Celtics pulled off last minute during their incredible run of titles, nor how many times Wilt almooooooost pulled off a playoff series win against the Celtics...but not quite.

Wilt's career would be framed in an entirely different manner if it wasn't for a 4th quarter here, and a 4th quarter there, against Russell and the Celts.

One was Havlicek's steal. The last one, Wilt was injured towards the end of the game and if you watch the film that's the only reason the Celtics won IMO.
