The older ones will say Bill Russell, others will say Michael Jordan, the younger ones will say Lebron James, everyone has their own definition of G.O.A.T 🐐
For me, it's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for everything he has contributed on and off the basketball court. #BasketballLegends #HoopsHistory

In 1973, Wilt would sign with the San Diego Conquistadors to be a player-coach.
A California court would rule in the Lakers favor and set on Wilt not playing for the Conquistadors. He would still be allowed to coach them.

Chicago’s Al Kellett just missed a free throw, and this is how players of the era fight for a rebound: reaching with one hand while shoving with the other. Tillie Voss (right) bats at the ball, taking care a Fort Wayne Hoosiers player won’t get it. On the other side of the free throw line the Bruins’ Honey Russell keeps Fort Wayne’s Shang Chadwick under control and prepares to get the ball Ft. Wayne is in red shirts and black shorts Chicago in white shirts and red shorts Game in Chicago Stadium on Christmas Day, 1929
Epic American Basketball League history from Chistmas 1929
