Wilt was obsessed with this streak. If he ever got to 5 fouls he'd basically stop playing defense. Just another thing Russell would use to advantage, get Wilt to 4 fouls, then draw that 5th one because Wilt would shut it down after that.
He never fouled out of a HS or college game either. I don't think its something history should look back on and say "wow, what a great player".
