Did Chamberlain Outplay Russell? No Way, He Says

Scott Ostler has given us much entertainment and wisdom over the years, but he “lipped one” in his May 18 column.

That Wilt Chamberlain could outplay Bill Russell with his right hand tied behind his back?

I’m sure you were only trying to see if anyone was paying attention. It may well have been a momentary blackout, on Ostler’s part.

Or, Ostler may have attended Oklahoma State: Class of Dexter Manley.
