Wilt Blocked Kareem 17 Times in One Series — At 35 Years Old

If a player had 17 blocks in a six-game playoff series, it would be considered impressive. In the 1972 Western Conference Finals, Wilt Chamberlain blocked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 17 times by himself—including five skyhooks in the Game 6 ...

Re: 100 Greatest NBA Players

A MESSAGE FROM BILL RUSSELL:

I saw... Wilt play at the tail-end of his career with the titans of his time: Elgin, the Big O, Willis Reed, Jerry West, Nate Thurmond, Bill Russell, and many more; the decline of basketball in the wake of his retirement and the end of that storied era; the injection of ...

Sampson stopped reviewing songs on his website over a year ago. About 2 weeks ago he told Lew that he would get the hall of fame thing as soon as he could. Don't know what's going on with him, but I think he lost his passion for this stuff.

Re: 300 Greatest Popular Music Artists


With influence and impact as part of the criteria, that placement is still ridiculous. And only talking about popularity, that placement is very inconsistent with other top artists of the same era. Rihanna has more certified units sold and more #1 hits and is 136 spots below her. If you want to ...

I can't even name one of her songs, but nobody has been this huge around the world since the Beatles. Maybe Michael Jackson for awhile. She could drop down eventually if her amazing popularity subsides, but I don't see that happening. Anyway, I got you guys to notice!
