Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell's beef turned a beautiful friendship into 24 years of silence

For most of Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain’s illustrious, decorated careers, they were in direct competition with each other. They faced off in the playoffs 8 times in 10 years. And they got along well those 10 years. For this is a story of reverse beef– direct competition equaled friendship. Their playing days no longer overlapping, the end of direct competition, equaled... beef. Enjoy.
