That he advanced past his primary rival, Russell, just once and won one NBA title during that period only adds more fuel to that perspective. Of course, some NBA historians use the latter as an example of Wilt’s sometimes-misguided motivations. That said, he led the NBA in minutes, rebounds and field goal percentage all three seasons, had one scoring title (33.5 ppg in 1965-66) and even led the league in total assists (1967-68) one season, just to prove he could.
