This NBA Finals has been chased by history.
There’s Kobe Bryant, and, inevitably, there are the comparisons

Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson are without question
two of the greatest basketball players of all-time. Their
careers are excellent examples of both peak value and durability: the numbers that they put up when they were at their best are incredible and they sustained a high level of production for a long period of time. This article takes a detailed look at their accomplishments.
THE last time I spoke to Wilt Chamberlain,
13 months before he died on Oct. 12, 1999,
out of nowhere he appealed: "Don't ever let people forget how good we were." Oscar Robertson was one of those unforgettable, too-good-to-be-true players. While his...
