That was true, to a degree. They were great battles of which I only watched on tape. But from what I understand, it was also a result of the overall dominance of the Celtics.
Put it this way, if Wilt was the center of the Celtics, he'd have more rings than the two I believe he won.
That's possible. It's hard to know. But more significant were the psychological battles between the two. In terms of mental strength, there was no point in comparing the two. Wilt's mental breakdowns and his deep desire to be recognized were legendary. Whereas Russell was will personified. It's equally possible that Russell affected his teams more than the players were inherently better that Wilt's various teams.
