At the same time, Chamberlain was often paying a physical toll, getting slapped, elbowed, poked, pulled and scratched himself.
"The things I saw guys to do him was unbelievable," said teammate Al Attles. "Clyde Lovellette hit him with that elbow that drove Wilt's lower teeth up into his jaw and put him the hospital and caused an infection. That was the worst of it, but he was always being beat up and abused."

No doubt everyone here has seen Clyde Lovellette highlights plenty of times.
Seriously, you guys need to stop talking about Clyde Lovellette, it's bordering on obsession... it almost seems like the only topic of discussion here. Why can't you all talk about Lebron VS Kobe instead?

I don't care that little to no one cares, I'm posting for those who like the history of the game. Like everyone on ISH knows/have seen Clyde Lovellette
Do yourself a favor, if you don't like my posts...wouldn't it be less annoying if instead of clicking on it and making it worse for self, to simply just keep skimming for something about LeBron, Kobe or who have you of today to jerk it to? lol
*edit
I have aspergers, you think I care that I annoy people with these posts

Thanks for the post. Clyde was the dean of boys at my junior high school. He was a real nice guy but if you don't think the boys in that school didn't tow the line then you have never seen Clyde.
