Bill Russell won 10/10 game 7s

When two teams went to game 7, this usually means they were about equal.

I don't know about you, but I find it quite impressive that Russell won all of them.

As a comparison, Wilt won 4/9 game 7s.

As impressive as Russell's game 7s record is, it shouldn't be surprising, considering he literally won the championship 85% of his career. He only lost two playoff series in his 13-year career, and one of those was a series where he got injured causing him to miss nearly half of it.

The surprising thing is he got into that many game 7s. Because the narrative was his team was full of HOFers. This has got to be the record of most wins in game 7s as best player. Second place might be Lebron with 6 wins.

Believe it or not LeBron isn't even in the top 5. Discounting Russell's teammates, Allen, DJ, Horford & Horry each won 7 Game 7's.

Well tbf I'm not sure Russell was best player in all of those, Hondo could be argued as their best player for those last 2 titles.
