Who jumped center against Wilt Chamberlain in the 1957 Championship game?

5'11" Tommy Kearns Here's an excerpt from an article I found: "Before the championship game, Rosenbluth said, McGuire went down the bench asking each player a question. 'Are you afraid of Chamberlain?' Nobody said yes. Then he sent out the 5-11 Kearns to jump center for the opening tip, while the other four North Carolina players set up in a zone around the Kansas basket. 'I wanted to show them the zone we were going to use,' McGuire was quoted in some newspapers afterward. 'And I wanted to show how ridiculous it is to have anybody jump against Chamberlain. I told some of the photographers to be ready for that picture. It should have been a good one.'" Here's the link to that article. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/lopresti/2007-03-26-lopresti-1957-unc_N.htm

Who is better Wilt Chamberlain or Michael Jordan?

wilt chamberlien was better in stats 10 rebounding titles in 13 years, 7 straight scoring titles. But he only had 2 championships to Micheal's 6 rings. Micheal was by far better in the clutch. He did have impressive stats with 3 steals titles and 10 scoring. But take into accout MJ had Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. Wilt was on the lowly 76'ers and Warriors for the majority of his career and defintly his prime. In all depended on wilt to how far the team went. You can't say he didn't contibute with all his stats plus in '65 when he won his first championship with the 76'er he led the league in assits that year, a big man doing that! Plus he took his team to the Eastern Conference Finals numurous times in the 60's. All against the Celtics who had Bill Russel, Bob Cousy, and john havekiek. All in all i would say wilt because Micheal had the better team around him.
