Wilt Chamberlain is statistically the greatest basketball player who ever lived. Bill Russell has eleven rings meaning he won eleven championships in the thirteen years he played. Wilt once averaged 50.4 points in the same season he averaged 25.7 rebounds. Bill Russell never averaged more than 18.9 points per game but was surrounded by so many Hall-of-Famers, it's a wonder they lost at all. Wilt averaged 22.9 REBOUNDS for his career. Russell averaged 22.5 REBOUNDS for his career. In the 2012-3 season, the leading rebounder was Dwight Howard who averaged 12.4 rebounds per game. Wilt never averaged LESS than 18.2 rebounds per game and had ten seasons where he averaged 21.1 or more (with a high of 27.2). Russell never averaged LESS than 18.6 rebounds per game and had ten seasons where he averaged 21.0 or more (with a high of 24.7). When Wilt had good players around him, his teams won championships. More often, Wilt was called on to improve an area of the team that wouldn't normally be touched by a center. For example, in 1967-68, Wilt led the league in assists with 702 assists. The NBA leader in 2012-13 was Greivis Vasquez had 704 assists.The bottom line is that the NBA was dominated from the late 1950's through the early 1970's by these two giants. In the history of the game, only Magic v Bird compares.Head-to-Head Numbers:Wilt and Russell played against each other 142 times in 10 years. Russell's team won 88, Wilt's teams won 54.In those games Wilt averaged 28.7 ppg and 28.7 rpg, Russell averaged 14.5ppg and 23.7rpgWilt's high game vs. Russell was 62, and he had six other 50+ point games against Russell. Russell's high game against Wilt was 37, and he had only two other 30+ point games against Wilt.Wilt's record 55 rebound game was against Russell, and he had six other 40+ rebound games vs. Bill. Russell only had one 40+ rebound night against Wilt.
This isn't a biography of Bill Russell or Wilt Chamberlain, but what it is is a great biography of both of them at the same time. John Taylor does a wonderful job of at first focusing on Russell individually and Chamberlain individually and then eventually tying both of their lives together. He gives great insight into how each of them played the game of basketball, and what they accomplished both separately and together. If you are looking for an individual biography of either Russell or Chamberlain, this book may not be for you, but if you want a wonderful piece of writing that compares and contrasts both of these legends simultaneously, then this is surely where to look.
This appears to be a thorough, thoughtful examination of the Russell-Chamberlain rivalry and what it did for pro basketball (much as Bird-Magic would do years later), but its sloppiness makes its accuracy on any given anecdote suspect. Given that some of the inaccuracy involves some of the better-known, most easily researched moments -- mistakes that literally jump out for their amatuerishness -- I went from initially being fascinated by Taylor's compilation of behind-the-scenes insights to wondering whether I could trust any of it.Here are some examples that came to mind as I read The Rivalry:* Taylor's depiction of one of the most celebrated shots in NBA history, Don Nelson's desperation foul-line set shot that bounced freakishly high off the rim before falling through the net just as the Lakers were making their Game 7 comeback in 1969, is available from many film sources, and yet Taylor gets it all wrong. He say Keith Erickson "blocked a shot" and Nelson "recovered" the ball, when in fact, Erickson clearly reached from behind Havlicek in an attempt to steal the ball and poked it loose. The ball went directly to Nelson's hands some 10 feet away as if it were a pass (yet another freakish twist to the play) -- Nelson didn't "recover" the ball, he had it plop into his open hands like a gift from the basketball gods.* Taylor correctly depicts Sam Jones' rattling game-winner triple-pick jumper on the "Ohio" play that pulled out Game 4 for the Celtics in the first telling, but later in the book refers to it as having happened in Game 5. Did anyone edit the book or even proof it? This is basic stuff, folks, and if you can't trust the simple things to be accurate, can you trust Taylor's accuracy on the more sophisticated events described in the book?* For instance, Taylor goes into great detail about the injuries and strategies of both the Celtics and Lakers leading into the 1969 finals, yet leaves out one of the most crucial factors and a pretty well-documented one: Although Havlicek had been the team's famed Sixth Man throughout his career to that point, Russell moved him into the starting lineup for that series because he felt the Celtics needed to get off to faster starts. That, more than anything, may have made the difference in the series because in most of those games the Celtics jumped out to early big leads and put the Lakers in the position of constantly having to play catchup. The psychological implications of this dynamic can't be overstated, as the Lakers (and Wilt, with the exception of 1967) had perpetually lost to the Celtics and to trail early in most of the championship games had to reinforce likely presumptions that once again the Celtics couldn't be beaten.As I say, these are just simple, obvious things that jumped out as I read -- and things any reasonable student of the game should have gotten right. I'd like to think they're just minor dumb oversights, but I can't help but wonder if the rest of the so-called facts in this book are as dubious.The book is a good read -- I just don't trust it.
This book does a good job of capturing a time. A great account of not just these 2 giants of the sport, but also the evolution of the nba from stepchild to major league attraction. Good details about the behind the scenes attitudes and perspectives of Wilt and Russell , how they viewed themselves in the big picture and how teammates ,press and management saw them. Great for a fan, good for anyone else.
Old enough to have heard the stories about Chamberlain and Rusell, but not old enough to have seen them play firsthand, I thouroughly enjoyed hearing the story retold. Considering the Boston dynasty of the 60s, I had no idea how many series came down to a seventh game, with a few fortunate bounces helping to decide the outcome. Of course, good teams make their own luck - and Rusell's Celts seemed to will their way to victory more often than not. Chamberlain's sense of entitlement, drawing from being a prodigee from a young age, harkens to today's superstars who are coronated before they've accomplished anything. Juxtoposed against Rusell's rise from obscurity (he nearly didn't pursue basketball at all), it makes for wonderful rags to riches story. I can't vouch for the book's accuracy (which some of the reviewers have placed in doubt), but I can say its a very good read and wonderfully cuts the divergent and convergent paths of the two heroes of the era.
