Although Russell was on better teams, he was still a fantastic player. Russell played in an era before block counts were kept track of. He is said to have averaged double digit blocks a game at the time, and many people think he is the best defensive big player in history.

“Remembrances of Love with Wilt Chamberlain” is a fantastic lost Saturday Night Live segment. Wilt is a TV show host who looks back fondly on his many romantic relationships. A plethora of files detailing every woman MC Hammer has had sex with surround him as he sits on a chair with enormous legs. In essence, over the course of an hour, he falls in love with a lady, they have sex, and then they “grow apart” and stop being in love.

I had just ended a relationship with a female who was still in the restroom, and I was on the rebound. But since I’ve always followed my emotions, there was no time for analysis. “Next week: Wilt Chamberlain’s “Remembrances of Love” and the heartbreak of #9,687.”
