For most of Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain’s illustrious, decorated careers, they were in direct competition with each other. They faced off in the playoffs 8 times in 10 years. And they got along well those 10 years. For this is a story of reverse beef– direct competition equaled friendship. Their playing days no longer overlapping, the end of direct competition, equaled... beef. Enjoy.
