Comments: This is only two years, (I wanted to focus on the Nat’s championship) but Dolph Schayes has risen to third on the Historical Top Ten, just behind Bobby McDermott and well within range of George Mikan, (who had a much shorter career). Dolph figures to top the list someday- briefly. Neil Johnston and Ed Macauley have showed up at the bottom of the list but they don’t have as far to go as Dolph still does.
