Honestly, Bill Russell is the most disrespected man in NBA history!

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

basketball is a TEAM sport....

what is so difficult to understand about this?

Bill didnt NOT win all those championships ALONE.....

was he the best player on those teams? debateable depending on the year......my \point ishe wasnt alone...
he wasnt even the leading scorer on those teams

i hate how basketball discussions get turned into thsi player vs player shyt when thats not even how the game is played




you cats should be tennis....boxing or golf fans.....atleast those guys are out there alone

That wasn't Russell.

 

[ALonelyDad]

People like offense and he had a guy in his era who was getting out of this world numbers while he was not.


He was also on a super stacked team and faced little competition so it’s understandable why he’s not looked as one.


As for disrespect, I disagree. I see him get nothing but love and he shows it back, which is great to see from someone his age

The Nba fanbase don't respect the legends of the game who pave the way its a shame.

 

[Carlton Banks]

I hate it when use his era against him. The NBA had to start somewhere. It wouldn't be where it's at if it wasn't for players like him.

Celtics won 0 titles before bill

11 titles in 13 years with him

6 titles in 50+ years since he retired


Yeah I'd say Bill was the reason they won all them rings

 

[HTTR4Lyfe]

11 rings is undeniable regardless of era

 

[Maximus Odinson]

His career average is 15ppg

That's just not gonna impress people these days.

people saying Wilt was better when Russell locked him up his entire life
Bill won as a player and coach at the same time ... once again locking WILT up
wilt didnt average no 40-50 on him
nikkas used to ride the bus between states to games making 100,001k a year
hooping full game after that in converses with no substitution
in a city that doesnt fukk with you and is one of the most racist ever
this man single handedly gave us GOAT discussion and jump started basketball into actual superstardom
he created and anchored the first dynasty unless you want to give that credit to Lakers and George Mikan ... he's disrespected really too
the next era featuring Wilt and West, Russell and Cousy was more stacked and exciting so people gravitate towards it

sick of people debating era's when this one can barely even win an olympics over cats who just started playing
its obvious barely any people in here hoop at all, ever single thread.

Russell and Wilt put basketball on a huge national map and we owe everything to them really
same way Harden and them evolved the step back etc and now you see Tatum and Luka using it like its normal
thats how the game goes ... imagine the first nikka that reverse dunked... or did a windmill. Of course Vince or whoever perfected the windmill but until that first dude did it, there was years of it never existing.

I got more shyt to say but im not getting my shyt stolen off this website ill just make youtube video

If only he played for GOAT franchise. He’d be remembered as a legendary Laker instead of second fiddle to Bird…

What you expect when there were only 8 teams back then and 5/6 of the 8 are no longer in existence.

That time period is like MLB before integration and the NFL pre Super Bowl. It shouldnt be compared to the modern games.

competition matters

 

[Carlton Banks]

competition matters

11 Rings breh... 11.

If competition matters most, than Lebron is better than MJ

Baseball is different. Babe Ruth is still considered by many to be the GOAT
