Re: Greatest 1 on 1 rivalry in nba history

If the answer isn't Wilt v. Russell, it's Wilt v. himself

His psyche caused him to screw up his free throws (he was supposedly a 75%+ FT shooter in practice) and do things like changing his game to copy his archnemisis Russell as a reboudning/defending/nonscorer (despite being probably the greatest scorer in history) as well as setting truly ridiculous records (averaging 48.5 minutes per game for a season!). If that isn't a one on one matchup, I don't know what it.

It shouldn't be Maravich vs Gervin...It should be Gervin vs David Thompson if anything

Re: Greatest 1 on 1 rivalry in nba history

My take: Bird vs. Magic. Their games were amazing and they revitalized basketball. It was a pure rivalry, starting in college, and then seeped into the NBA. They might not have played the same position, but every game was big, because they could do it all. Chamberlain was all about offense (I know that Wilt was amazing at defense too, but he was more about scoring than anything else) and Russell was all about defense. While Larry and Johnson were triple double threats every night and only wanted to better each other:

“When the new schedule would come out each year, I'd grab it and circle the Boston games. To me, it was The Two and the other 80.”
--Magic Johnson

“The first thing I would do every morning was look at the box scores to see what Magic did. I didn't care about anything else.”
--Larry Bird
