Billy Cunningham came up with the 76ers.  It was about the same time that
Havliceck came up and they used to have some great duels.  He tore up his
knees and did not enjoy the lengthy career the John did.  A great player, he
worried me more times than I can recall as a child.  In fact, I worried more
about him, cause I knew that Russell would find a way to out fox Chamberlain!
