COMMENTS: Dolph Schayes gets rewarded for an incredibly long and productive career by taking the lead in the Historical Net Points ranking. It won’t last but the guys who will top him aren’t on the list yet.(Pettit will retire too soon.) The Big Dipper is coming! Bill Russell was a better player on the numbers than people remember, mostly due to his rebounding. And Elgin, Oscar, Jerry and others are going to dominate the rankings before too long. I wonder what Sy Blye is doing these days.
