as one of the bestrebounders to ever play the game. Indeed, having
12,546 rebounds in his career (not including the 1,582 he had during
his playoff career) will solidify that reputation. I certainly remember
his prowess under the boards during his years with theSixers.
But one of his lesser-considered or lesser-remembered legacies was his stance against "flaky white stuff" under the armpits. Ok, so maybe it wasn't his idea to campaign against this cosmetic faux-pas
as much as it was a marketing ploy, but he wound up being the ideal
model to fight against it since his arms were always up in the air
grabbing for rebounds.
And just think about how effective his
campaign was for Right Guard: watch a game of basketball today and I
guarantee that you will not see any unseemlyflaky white stuff under the
arms of basketball players. He undoubtedly revolutionized this scourge
over 10 years ago when most basketball players couldn't raise their
arms without exposing chunks of white deodorant in their pits.
Fortunately, we no longer have this problem.
Well done Sir Charles, well done!
