Hondo vs. the Stilt
Date: 1965
While John Havlicek could use every inch of his 6-foot-5 frame and his legendary endurance to his advantage, competing against 7-footer Wilt “The Stilt” Chamberlain was a different matter. Here, Havlicek does his best to sneak a shot by the 76ers center. Philadelphia and Chamberlain would be the team to finally end Boston’s consecutive streak of NBA World Championship titles, defeating the Celtics in the 1967 Eastern Division Finals, 4-1.
