Frequently Asked Questions
Was wilt chamberlain a better player than bill russell?
Yet, if we compare individual stats, Chamberlain beats Russell hands down. Wilt Chamberlain was the most dominant player in NBA history. In head-to-head matchups vs. Russell, Chamberlain scored more points, grabbed more rebounds, passed for more assists...and lost more games. The 1961-62 season encapsulates their rivalry.
Why did wilt chamberlain not play in the nba?
In 1973, the San Diego Conquistadors of the NBA rival league ABA signed Chamberlain as a player-coach for a $600,000 salary. However, the Lakers sued their former star and successfully prevented him from actually playing because he still owed them the option year of his contract.
Why did chamberlain and russell never make the all star team?
Both made the All-Star team every year but one — Russell because his Olympic team commitment cost him the start of his rookie year and Chamberlain because a ruptured right patellar tendon cost him all but 12 games in 1969-70. Cutting their careers down to a specific prime almost seems disrespectful.
How much does chamberlain outscored russell?
Chamberlain outscored Russell 30 to 14.2 per game and outrebounded him 28.2 to 22.9 in the regular season, and he outscored him 25.7 to 14.9 and outrebounded him 28 to 24.7 in the playoffs as well.
