Good for Wilt. Yet another individual accolade.

waiting for the first person to come up with a joke involving the volume of sexual exploits bragged about in his book and the fact he's now on a non-self-stick stamp.

OR

Something about Wilt constantly taking a licking from Russell in the NBA finals and now he's going to take a licking from everyone.

Nice posthumous nod towards the guy who was probably the best basketball player ever. Perennially underrated.

Oh.  I get it.  I was wondering why it wasn't Bill Russell.

Wilt the true goat. I got the biggest respect for that dude. C's killed his legacy by having tons of hall of famers.

Wilt was the most dominant player of all time.  If he were playing now, he would average 40 points per game.

I, too, was wondering why this honor wasn't bestowed upon Bill Russell, but what's wrong with putting Bird on a stamp?  At least it wasn't Jordan.  I can see Skip and Stephen A. (as well as everyone else at espn lol) going nuts over the, "grave injustice," of not further worshiping, "his airness."  Give me a break.  The whole myth about Michael Jordan is beyond ridiculous, and quite nauseating, at this point, imo.  Still, good for Wilt, although most people probably don't know who he is because they think that MJ created the game ::).  Whatever.
