"You know I was once a good free throw shooter, unfortunately Bill was my idol and I wanted to play just like him" lmao

Wholesome af

[–] CynicalMindTrip@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I love how they were very relaxed sharing the stage.

[–] MurlandMan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I love Wilt and Bill. Two of the all time GOATs.

[–] Nesden@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This will be LeBron and Steph in 30 years

[–] HedonCalculator@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, I think growing up in that time with all the race issues and lack of respect built a type of brotherhood that you can’t replicate in todays league.

[–] WTakesOnly@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah plus Steph is a lightskin brother with the green eyes

Wilt had elite drip. Bill is like the friendly businessman who quietly collects medals as regularly as paychecks lol.

[–] iamgarron@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Love how they used the negatives to compliment each other too. "Wilt could miss half and he'd still make 15" is awesome

[–] AngryTurtleGaming@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I love Bill Russell’s laugh. Truly infectious and genuine.

[–] JustAMan1234567@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wilt is fucking huge.

[–] Hojie_Kadenth@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

"we shouldn't feed bill so well next time" XD

[–] Sportsfan369@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This was wholesome to watch. I can see why it’s so hard to have a all times great list or GOAT conversation because most didn’t watch these two in their prime but I can guarantee you they were every bit as good as the athletes today and would hold their own in any era of nba.

Lol look at Wilt in that chair and Ahmad Rashad.

For reference, Rashad is 6'2

[–] Process2complicated@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, what a delight

[–] burnerbabyburns@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bill Russell has the greatest laugh in human history

[–] cheeseball444@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bill laugh might just be better than his resume.

[–] RogueIsCrap@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wilt is jacked for someone from that era. Had bigger shoulders and arms than most players now.

Bill Russell has the GOAT laugh.

[–] GhostwoodGG@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bills laugh only adds to the legend of his locker room presence, the younger celts were probably spending a lot of time wondering how they could impress bill or at least make him laugh

“he could miss half of em and still make 15”😂
