I give Bran 2 more seasons

[ShawkFactory]

Yes, he would be great and one of the best players in the league for sure if he played today

Was saying that he wouldn't be averaging 25+ rebounds a game though

Well no.

But outside of Wilt no one averaged 25+ rebounds a game back then either.

I just think it's silly to say that Shaq and Bron shit on anything Russell and Wilt did. That was the reason for my post.

LeBron already has elite longevity. And he's still going strong. Stay mad

[tpols]

LeBron's longevity is unprecedented so far.. hes already pretty much played as much or more minutes than most in history.. w/o a single major injury or much signs of slowing down.. he is a cyborg physically.. and well likely never see anything quite like it today in todays fast paced perimeter league.

That's right. Embrace your inner LeBron stan. You know you want to. Give in to your emotions, boy. Let the LeBron homerism flow through you.

lol .. I could elaborate further, but i wont.

Not really dude.

Russell averaged things like 22/27/5 throughout playoff runs. And this is with defense that would blow your mind and leadership abilities that you probably couldn't even imagine watching this game today.

He was the Ulysses S. Grant of the NBA.

I mean...dude lead SAN FRANSISCO to 2 straight NCAA titles.

Him winning anything and everything was not just good fortune. Not even close.

Russell was playing on teams with 6+ HOF'ers. Give LeBron that kind of talent and he'd win 11+ rings as well.

Bron is going to be an effective player in his late 30's.

[Derka]

13 full seasons, 2.5 additional seasons' worth of playoff games and the guy's never suffered a major injury. That, to me, is mind-boggling.

Not ready to start talking about him declining anytime soon.

[Mr Feeny]

No , he doesn't .

I've seen his form , he had around 36 vert at last finals .

But still amazing with his size . Almost 7'1 Wingspan , 8'10 Standing Reach and with 36 vert still too much for the nba . We've seen what happened on the court when he want to protect the rim . Probably , NBA fans saw the real all around James first time in his career .

If he had that mentality since his early years , he would have been one of the greatest of all time , at least like Wilt with his impact .

It's sad Jordan hype did push new generation to score,score,score . Or man to man defences,trash talks etc. Bullshits . Player could have been much better w/out that mentality . That was Jordan's way , every player cannot be the same .

He was measured at 46 inches.
Only Jordan and 2 other guys (can't remember who exactly ) have higher all time vehicle leaps.

Kobe has a pathetic 38 inches TEN less than MJ

They're not HOFers without the rings.

Which is where Russell comes in...

Hondo, Cousy, Jones, etc.. They're HOF'ers with or without Russell. Hondo would've actually won ~4 FMVP's, if he they had that back then. WITH BR. He won 2 more rings after that and won the FMVP as well in '74. Dude is one of the most underrated players of all time (relative to era).
