They did, in 1968, but for some reason it's marked down in basketball history as a Chamberlain epic choke rather than a great Russell victory....
Some of the more "fringe" Hall of Famers that the Russell Celtics had, like Tom Heinsohn, KC Jones, and Bailey Howell, only made HoF in the 1980's...
After signing Andersen and the 2nd round rookies the Rockets no longer have $5 million of the MLE to spend.
Well, the "killer crossovers" of today's game would be called palming/carrying back then, and walks would be called much more strictly. Remember...
