Russell was 6'9. I was stating he was pretty dominant in that era at that height.
Again Russell was in unarguably the best player on in unarguably the best team of that era. It wasn't just about him.
And the names you listed honestly don't move me that much outside of a couple.
#3 is pretty much the reason we shouldn't even be having this debate, as I stated from jump my selections were based on the eras/players I have personally been able to watch.
But I feel your logic: you weren't there then so you couldn't appreciate his greatness....
