______________
Bob Pettit
when the talking heads talked about Bill Russell they always talked about all of his Championships and sometimes mention the year he and his Celts lost to Wilt's 6ers
I've never ever heard them talk about the other year Russ and his Celts lost - to the '58 St. Louis Hawks, and the truly great yet all but completely forgotten Bob Pettit
in the 6th and final game of the series Pettit destroyed the Celts with 50 points and 25 rebounds
old school Pettit was as tough as nails - he played part of the '57 season with a fractured wrist and a cast on his left arm
enjoy watching him use up Bill Russell - Bob Cousy was on that Celts team too
