Russell got all of that one, dropped the mic and headed off into the sunset. Nicely done.

I agree with him, but....

"Basketball is a team game" then he says; I won, I won, I won, I won....

bernstein says winning means nothing. Except when it's all that matters... Wait. I'm confused now. Let's compare Russell to Robert Horry to make some point about, uh, eh, eh, about, look, I don't know what it's supposed to be about, for the love of God.

Although picking just 4 players, you're going to leave off one of these guys at least


Wilt
Kareem
Russell
MJ
Kobe
Magic
Bird
Shaq

Nah Russell just sounds like a baby. It's not the least bit surprising someone Lebron's age would mention Jordan, Bird, and Magic, and it's likewise unsurprising that he'd choose perimeter players across the board.

Very easy for me to leave Kobe off that list. Duncan and Hakeem deserve a spot before him.

Ask Russell how many teams were in the league when he won all those NBA Rings.

It was much easier to dominate an NBA that had a lot of white guys back then.


Also,Oscar Robertson belongs in any all-time great talk. He was fantastic.

I'm doing a reverse bernstein in my head right now with a black guy's voice talking about how white boys can't ball.

Russel played 1956- 1969
Robertson played 1960- 1974

That is the same era.

And most of us are in this country legally... :)

Bill Russell was good in the episode of The White Shadow in which he guest starred.

Hey era_boy,you left this out:

1970 season

The NBA expands to 17 teams as the Portland Trail Blazers, the Buffalo Braves, and the Cleveland Cavaliers begin play. For the first time, the league is divided into Conferences (East and West), each with two divisions.

The prime of both of their careers was played before 1970, jimmy.
