He came to the NBA when it was just 11 years old and when he retired, he had helped the Celtics to win half of the league championships at that point.
In this video, he talks about a lot of things - his friendships with Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West and Elgin Baylor, how he used to visit with the Chamberlain family and how Wilt’s mother would let him sleep in his oversized bed after dinner.
