    Russell and the Dons started three black players, they were the first team to do this and of course eventually won two titles and 55 straight games.

    Like certain "wise" 15 year olds claim, Russell=Mutombo. I mean, Mutombo was doing that **** every game, wasn't he?

    These silly Sports Center Espn TOp highlight era kids just have no idea about the greatness of past players like a Russell. I bet if you put a thread asking whos better Kevin Durant or Russell all the 10 year old basketball IQ posters will say KD

    Kevin Durant is a better player, Russell is higher on an all time list.

    Russell dominated in every league and every competition in basketball....Olympics, College, High School, NBA, etc... The man is the greatest winner of the four big sports and the greatest winner in basketball by far. People just love to hate, for whatever reason.

    Until Russell came along and thought of jumping on defense, they were considered unblockable and centers and some other players practiced them daily like jump shots today.

    So much for the theory that Russell couldn't play offense. Looking at that footage, and he would have averaged well over 20 ppg in the current center-less NBA.
