Once upon a time, the NBA was dominated by towering Giants. The one who towered over them all was Wilt Chamberlain. From 100 points in a game to tallying more than 20,000...umm...points in his black book, scores of fans worldwide are familiar with tales of The Stilt and his scoring prowess.
The only knock on this otherwise remarkable resume is that he didn’t win more titles. Why?
Constantly thwarted by his adversary Giant, Bill Russell. In a non-biblical sense, it proved that it takes a Giant to defeat a Giant.
Ever since (and before), the NBA has been dominated by Giants — Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Robert Parish, George Mikan, Tim Duncan, David Robinson, and Shaquille O’Neal, to name a prominent few, have reigned.
