Wilt Chamberlain may be known for his scoring records (and his women), but on November 24th, 1960, he laced up his Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars and seemed to have a different purpose. That purpose was to beat Hall of Fame Boston Celtics center, Bill Russell, on the boards. Wilt came through with a record 55 rebounds but Russell and the Celtics walked away victoriously.
