Sounds like we need to bring back Wilt. Wilt was incredibly talented physically. The weakest part of his anatomy was his heart. I'll never forget his pulling himself out of game seven against the Celtics because Russell was taking him apart and he had 5 fouls and was afraid of losing his streak (of never fouling out of a game). Mel Counts came in and helped the Lakers get back into the game at the end, and THEN Wilt wanted to come back in. The Coach (Van Breda Koff) wouldn't let him. The Lakers lost in a heartbreaker. Wilts two Championships are a testiment to his lack of heart given the incredible physical advantage that he possessed. Remember, in those days other 7 footers were rare (and those with any agility even rarer). Wilt with Russell or Kareem's heart would have won 12 Championships (if Russell and Kareem hadn't been around to beat him). Dr.Id@Wiltdidhave10000womenthoughheexaggeratedthattoo.com
