Mr. Mercat was a freshman when Wilt was playing. They had to back off from back of the basket when Wilt was going to dunk. He saw Wilt bowl once. Had pin boys then and they had to clear out. Wilt’s ball was airborne halfway down the alley.
That is just tooo funny. I grew up in a farming community west of KC and was only around a relatively small number of people. Just had no idea any one person could possibly be that tall. Had no idea who he was even after I knew his name. To me he was Jack from the Jack and the Beanstalk.
