...good offense is the best defense, he should have a chat with Johnny Unitas, quarter back of the Baltimore Colts and the best passer in the National Football League. Johnny U. is easily the most offensive player in pro football.

Last year, he was persuaded to shoot less and enjoy it more as a playmaker and rebound hawk. The 76ers, after a 68-13 season record, went on to beat the Warriors for the N.B.A. title...
