      Reed as the power forward in 1968 averaged 21, 10, and 2 shooting over 54% in under 35 minutes and Luke Jackson averaged 12, 9, and 2 shooting under 37%!
      Looks like Reed despite playing out of position and having Walt Bellamy clog the middle on offense kicked some ass on Luke Jackson!

      @@BoosterGoldEarth6How you don't know that Walt Bellamy was the Knicks center in 1967/68 I'll never know?
      Very pathetic!
      In the 1968 playoffs, the 76ers went up 3-1 to Boston and choked and lost in 7 games and Chamberlain shot under 49% against Russell.
      In game 7 Wilt disappeared on offense only shooting 4 for 9 and scored 14 points in 48 minutes!
      Another example of small Wilt!
      In game 7 of the 1970 finals Wilt came up small with only 21 points against one leg Willis Reed in 48 minutes. The game before with Reed in his street clothes Wilt went for 45 and 27 in LA!
      Reed was the 1970 finals MVP!
      In game 5 of the 1973 finals when the Knicks won a second title, Reed with a bad left knee was able to play 31 minutes against Wilt and scored 18 with 12 rebounds and 7 assists shooting over 56%.
      In games 3 to 5 of the finals, Reed against Wilt was able to play 96 minutes and scored 61 points with 33 rebounds and 10 assists shooting 54% winning a second Finals MVP against Wilt despite a terrible left knee!

      @@BoosterGoldEarth6 In the 1973 finals on ABC, Bill Russell as the color man constantly was singing Reed's leadership and ability to will his body to perform against Wilt despite a horrible left knee. Reed was on borrowed time as shown the next season when he was only able to play 19 games and retired at age 31!
      Despite that Reed played Jabbar twice within a week in November of 1973 and held Jabbar to 18 for 40 shooting and 44 points in 86 minutes! Right after the second game, Reed sat out 47 games with his right knee bad along with the already bad left knee.

    It's kinda unbelievable to think that Rober "Chief" Parish came into the league in the 70s when John Havelicek was still playing, he's older than Bird and Mchale, and yet back in 1997, the man was STILL an ACTIVE player. I think he was 43 going on 44. Sure, he barely played for the Bulls, but still, a man who never had the benefit of today's technology playing until he was almost 44 is mind-boggling.
