Wilt got fucked over hard by the rules and the era tbh. So many rules that completely favored the defense (offensive fouls, palming etc) and the Celitcs having several hall of famers in an era with crap free agency and territorial picks while several teams literally collapsed around them due to financial strain. I'm not saying Russell was some scrub and the guy was so much more than his basketball carerer, but no one really acknowledges a lot of the advantages he had and frame it as a knock on Wilt's game
