    Wilt!

    The most fouled player in NBA history who instituted the most rules changes to limit his scoring.

    What, you buggermasters born yesterday?

    Made Ali quit their fight with nary a punch thrown.

    WILT for you unwashed masses of corporate clones dumbing down the world. Weep for thee.

I loved the shooters, the goofy ball, and I absolutely adored the Nets at that time. And the teams were spirited! from the announcers, to the fans, etc.
        Are you now a fan of the Nets again, now that they're back in New York?

          - -Doc J top 5 forever.

          Guaranteed one on one he'd clown Jordan like a schoolboy needing bully protection.

            You will not find a single fighter who moved like Robinson before he did.
            Many things were just beginning with Robinson, and he was the one beginning them. Innovator, Sugar Ray.
            mhm Panama Al Brown. Boy he did move with a feline grace.

                Nah its not the same...The ABA had a certain way about it. It was like the NBA was all high and mighty, the ABA was like a bunch of guys playing pick up in New York, the Rutgers league in Harlem, for the fun of it, and who could take on any NBA team. the guys were all great players but individualist is some ways, more creative.

                  That would be a tall order but then again Julius Irving might pull it off. Yeah I adored Dr J lol.

                    A lot of people don't understand how much basketball is a contact sport...Wilt did catch a lot of elbows, so did Russell, another player I admired.

                      Oh you mean the Rucker league and tournaments? I've heard of those. Weren't they big in the 70s? I remember the Don Cheadle HBO movie they made about The Goat called Rebound that talked about him becoming famous from the old Rucker games. There was also a more recent movie called Uncle Drew with a bunch of present and a few past NBA people and one from the WNBA in age makeup that mentioned Rucker where the team gets back together to win a tournament. Would have loved to see those old ABA games back then. The HBO documentary about the ABA was great.
