It’s harder when you’re only allowed 1 1/2 compared to today where they get 3-4 steps. Let me see u dribble palms down only and how u look than ?

I'm well aware of how the dribbling rules have changed. You don't need to carry the ball to demonstrate that you can dribble/ drive with your off hand. And you can demonstrate athletic finishing ability without necessarily dunking.

Yes indeed Wilt fame definitely helped volleyball grow in the USA in the early 70s. In his autobiography, he stated he picked up the sport once he ruptured his patella tendon. The therapist used it as a part of his treatment.

A friend of mine is an former olympic volleyball player. He was telling me about a master thesis a guy did in biomechanics "Which NBA player's Abilities Would Translate best to Volleyball" and aid the guy concluded Russell would have the physical ability to be the best VB player ever. He thought had he ended up in San Fran today, he would be the best Vball player of all time. A lefty, with the length agility quick hops, power, timing, etc. Same guy said stories of Wilt being agood volleyball player were largely myth. Wilt's fame helped Vball so they all played along.

Many players from the 60s claimed they lifted weights. I’m sure you’ve seen Nate Thurmond and even Russell has said he was 240 in his prime
