[Yahoo!] Chet Walker, Hall of Famer

Haymitch · Sep 6, 2012

Great read on a player I knew absolutely nothing about. Highly recommended.

Even the great and lithe Bill Russell could get ensnared in Walker's dangerous attack:

"Walker took a look at the 6-foot-10 Russell and shouted to coach Alex Hannum on the bench, 'I'll murder this guy.' With that, Walker started one of his patented one-on-one drives and Russell fouled. Chet made the free throw and Russell then switched to another man."

The 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers engaged in a murderous annihilation of the NBA. They forged a then-record 68 wins and stormed through the playoffs. The team demolished the Celtics in 5 games, including a riotous 140-116 blowout in the deciding game, ending Boston's run of eight straight titles. The San Francisco Warriors fared better in the Finals but ultimately had the same fate. The Sixers bested them in six games and were the champions.
