Some rare late 1960s Wilt vs Russell matchups
I don't think I posted these videos on PC Board (at least not all of them), so I hope it's within the rules to post them here in one consolidation thread.

Re: Some rare late 1960s Wilt vs Russell matchups
These are always a treat. Thanks so much. I of course especially love the Thurmond footage, but the matchups between Russell and Wilt are always great.
If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.

Re: Some rare late 1960s Wilt vs Russell matchups
These are of course just snippets of the games, but in the 1967 ECF game 2 video, Wilt comes across as dominating, at the peak of his powers.
Nate also looks really good in those last two videos. I was so lucky to see him when I was growing up in the Bay Area. My all-time favorite player.
Wilt, Russell, and Thurmond, plus others of that time. It was a golden age for centers.

@70sfan- How many minutes of total footage do we have of Wilt? Russell?

I never calculated it, but here is the list of Russell and pre-1970 Wilt footage:
