Yeah.

looked around the arena before Willis Reed, game seven at the Garden.

Hey, is Willis playing tonight?

Geez, Will, you're Will Chamberlain.

Who gives a crap if he's playing?

And he's got, and he's on one leg.

You'll be fine.

Yeah, yeah.

You know, as Havlicek once told me at a Rollins College dinner when he was at and I was the emcee.

Wow.

Remember that game seven, the following year,

when Philly played the Celtics and they were trying to go back to back, Philly was up three games to one that year.

And in game seven in Philadelphia, Wilt did not take any shots essentially in the second half because he was in foul trouble.

And he didn't want to get called for an offensive foul.

He never fouled out of a game.

And he never wanted to be in a situation where he fouled out of the game.

So he got very passive and Boston beat him in game seven when they were down 3-1 in that series.

Remember, the Celtics have lost to the Sixers.

I'm not telling you anything you don't know.

They lost to the Sixers in 66-67.
