    Wtf.

    At the Kobe. Not just because Jordan is in a different level, but because he was less of a headache for him.

    Bill Russell is probably the 2nd best player of all time after MJ. It's not crazy to say he was better than Jordan. Russ was a beast.

    Not even close my friend. The only player that has a case for clear cut 2nd best, and arguably tied with MJ is Kareem.

    Bill Russell was like Dwight Howard with b-ball IQ, much better defender, rebounder, shot blocker, and overall intangibles.

    He was Dennis Rodman mixed with Barkley, and a dash of Howard, but better than all 3.

    Russell was the ultimate team player. He could get in the head of anybody, could dominate the game by taking five shots, and was one of the best passers in the league at the time. Hondo said their team took a huge shock the year after he retired because they ran through his passes.

    He was super unselfish and was the GOAT defender and rebounder. Also, an amazing athlete. If I got a team full of shooters I'm gonna pick Russell, if I have a team with scrubs, I'm taking MJ.

    Agree. Bill Russell is hands down the greatest defender of all time. I would love to start a franchise with Mr. Russell. I still put MJ and Kareem SLIGHTLY ahead of him. I mean by the slightest of margins.

    Russell on defense was like a cheat code. Never knew he was such a great passer. Makes him even more deadly.

    Yeah, Bill won a lot and you can argue between him and Mj to start a franchise, but MJ or Kobe? C'mon ...

    No surprise. If given the choice, Phil would also take Shaq over MJ. He's always felt that basketball is a big man's game.

    The only reason I really think Russell has a case over Kareem is that Bill had such heart and was obsessed with winning. It was almost scary He got sick before every single game. I never really saw a killer instinct in Kareem.
