True, Bill won every playoff matchup.
But my earlier point is that Wilt was an all time great…just like Bill. They made each other better.
I like watching basketball. I did photography work for the Basketball Hall of Fame for many years. Most of those guys are wonderful to work around. It is always interesting to be around people who were the absolute best at their jobs. It’s really fun to see them interacting with each other in a private room when no one is watching. I got a look into their world for just a few minutes at a time.
While most of them appreciate the fans…you can tell the fans are their least favorite parts of these events.
I was just telling my wife the other night, “While I am a Celtics fan, I really like the guys on the Knicks. I just cannot stand their fans or the media around them.”
That’s how I feel about these GOAT conversations. There is no answer that someone like LeBron can give would make everyone happy.
Why can’t we just appreciate that he is a great player?
