On this episode, Bob Ryan and Gary Tanguay reminisce about the legendary Wilt Chamberlain. Bob tells the story of Wilt's fallout with Lakers head coach Butch van Breda Kolff in 1969, which could have cost the Lakers a championship. He then recalls the famous series vs the Knicks in the 1970 Finals, where Willis Reed famously returned from injury for Game 7 and fired up the Madison Square Garden faithful who saw their team win the championship for the first time, thanks to an incredible performance from Walt Frazier. Finally, Bob and Gary remember Wilt as a person, including his relationship with Bill Russell.
