I have to make a comment about Bill Walton who I once met at a trade show. He was so much fun to watch. No center before or since had his skill at initiating the fast break. On the defensive board he could have the ball out of his hands before his feet hit the ground with a pass to a guard racing up the court . It was an amazing thing to watch. No center that I’m aware of has come close to matching his ability in this area.
Did you ever watch Wilt when he was with the Lakers? Coach Sharman let Wilt focus on defense, and when Wilt pulled down a rebound (and he got around 18 per game) he would fire the basketball down court to a speeding West, Goodrich, or Hairston. He actually threw it the way a normal sized person throws a softball, and he threw strikes!
