From today's San Francisco Chronicle, Scott Ostler's Bon Mots & Cheap Shots:
". . . making a big deal about the combined scoring average of Curry and Klay Thompson (51.
, but nobody mentions the great Joe Ruklick, a 6-9 center-forward for the 1961-62 Philadelphia Warriors. Ruklick, along with a center named Wilt, combined to average 52.7 points and without a three-point line."
"Note: Wilt Chamberlain didn't allow Ruklick much run at center that season. Wilt played 80 games and sat for eight minutes total, when he was thrown out of a game with two technical fouls."
The Big Dipper will always be my favorite basketball player.
