...on my list of the best players I've ever seen. And, I've been seriously watching the NBA since the NBA on CBS days of the 60s.
Now, I put Wilt in a separate category because his combination of size & athleticism was so far ahead of time that it's not a fair fight.
But, in my nearly 60 years of watching pro basketball I only have 5 players I'd rather have leading my team than Larry.
