old nba scuffles we’re just so much better, even in old footage 😂
I hope this fight didn’t keep anyone from their plumber and firefighter day jobs.
/s
I’d absolutely love an upscaled colourised poster from the last 5 seconds of the clip. Wilt leaning and Bill not moving an inch. Epic.
I love how everyone stopped to watch. People beating the shit out of each other suddenly have something way more interesting going on.
On a side note, those guys could punch each other across the length of the court their arms are so long.
Wilt is just the definition of a generational athlete.
look at this guy towering over anybody, he is probably the strongest and the fastest guy in the court too
Giannis muscle ain’t even this big and he is bullying everyone.
People around them looked so scared when they’re the one starting to fight lol cause who gonna stop these dudes
This shit is legendary.
Darn those dudes are jacked.
Russell looked like he was 50 years old.
It looks like Russell pushed Wilt but only succeeded in moving himself backwards, dude was an animal lol
It’s jarring how much bigger and stronger Wilt was than Russell.
Easy to forget sometimes since they’re both titans in their own right but Wilt really was a once-in-a-generation freak specimen.
damn that’s cool af
Safe to say Russell was a tough guy but I sincerely doubt anyone would’ve wanted to go toe to toe with Chamberlain. Such an incredible athlete. Almost looks like Wilt is scolding him at the end lmao.
I know Bill was a tough dude in his own right and was also big as shit in his own right.
But
It shows the balls he had and the fact he would not back down in front of his teammates to see him not take a step back from Wilt
Wilt was a behemoth of a man.
Wilt was probably at around 2000 women here
Rewatch the clip and keep an eye on the ref. He ends up in the middle of a tornado
They got this but not wilts 100 points🫣
Man these plumbers sure love to fight
I think Wilt says to Bill “you the bitch” of you look closely…
I didn’t know a league of milkmen and plumbers could have such muscles.
Bill Russell does not want that fuckin’ smoke lol
I still don’t get how people say Wilt wouldn’t be great in today’s game.
Look at him, he’s built Luke Giannis and is 3 inches taller
Absolute freak of nature
Man, so glad we don’t have to wear suits when we go out any more.
They didnt want none of each other
It was like a movie battle. When the two main characters squared up everyone else stopped fighting to watch.
I want a Winning Time style show for this era. Shit would be fire
Wilt strong. Bill tries to shove Wilt but barely moves him, Wilt shoves Bill in retaliation which makes Bill fall a couple of steps back, he comes back to shove Wilt again, this time with a step or two of extra momentum. Wilt, again, barely moves.

A few months later we got [Willis Reed vs. The Lakers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=horL_wVW12c)
Russell seems to be – like always – the agressor
