what would Bill Russell average in today's game?

[comerb]

15pts 15rbs 3.3blks

He was never a good scorer and he'd have an even tougher time in the NBA with the size and athleticism of the guys that would be defending him.

He'd have more of an effect that his stats would show though. His biggest asset is that he was an elite defensive anchor and a fantastic leader.

david robinson with best defense, yes I said it

And with his skill and athleticism, definitely over 50% from the field in today's game, he was like 60% from the line though but had post-seasons considerably raising that.

What is your logic for him shooting better from the field?

You do know Robinson once scored 71 pts in an NBA game, right?

I meant to put 19 RPG for Russell. He would rebound that well. His rebounding would be his best asset despite his legendary blocks.

Whatever the hell his team needed him to average with some limits on points up to about 24ppg (according to peers like Wilt, Russell from a production stand point COULD have scored like that had the Celtics needed it, he had that kind of offensive talent, he averaged 22ppg on better than 54% his 2nd season in college for example) and limits on rebounds up to about 16rpg. Would lead the league in rebounding and blocked shots almost every season. Would be making MVP runs every single season if he played like he did for the Celtics. The thing with Russell is, he does everything within the flow of what his team needed. He didn't score points with the Celtics, because they had scorers. They needed a rebounder, so he rebounded. And his incredible gift was defense and intimidation.

You & Jilp have made my night, appreciate it my dude
