Wilt Chamberlain

this day 1999

Maybe the greatest individual basketball player who ever lived. I have watched dozens of hours
of You-Tube videos of him. Incredible is an understatement.

An incredible force. Fortunate enough to have seen his playing days including his battles with
another great Bill Russell which many consider the greatest winner in sports.

Hoopah drives the boat Chief !!
Wilt was actually good friends with Russell , Red said he's always t ake Russell any day over Wilt for his team play and his finger tip shot blocking turning into point vs Wilt slapped them out of bounds

Ed Sullivan died this day 1974

Unbelievable to me it's been 48 years ago.

Ed Sullivan was a staple in our home for many years on Sunday nights.
I still remember the night the Beatles were on and changed the world. I was about 8. I remember afterwards getting a Hard Day's Night album for Christmas and wore it out.

My Dad said they were a passing fancy......
