In his college days.

In his very first NBA game he put up 43 points, on 17-27 shooting, with 28 rebounds, and 17 blocked shots.

He would go on to either outplay, or downright DOMINATE the likes of Reed, Bellamy, Thurmond, Russell, Lanier, Hayes, Unseld, Cowens, McAdoo, and Kareem. All in the HOF and all would be among the very best in TODAY'S NBA, as well.

GOAT...

Very astute observation :applause:

Obviously the OP was posting a pic of the two greatest centers, and arguably, the two greatest NBA players of all-time, as a tribute to both of them.
