I won\u2019t do that, but I will defend the firemen and the plumbers that he referenced. And I\u2019ll just give you a few of the names of these firemen that I played with and against during those years. How about Bill Russell, the aforementioned, not too bad a player. Wilt Chamberlain, remember that guy? He wasn\u2019t bad. I guess he must have fought fires as well.
