Then in the Playoffs it was onlyl 29-20 advantage to Russell and the Celtics but Wilt was still superior head to head 26-28-5 on 51% FG while Russell was at 14-25-5 on 41% FG. They met eight times in the playoffs, and Celtics won seven of those series, including four Game 7s by a grand total of nine points.
Russell won the MVP the year Oscar averaged a triple-double and Wilt averaged 50 points.
The players voted and Russell won. That's the biggest point you can make in the Wilt-Russell argument.
