Russell > Bird, so no he is not a top 5 GOAT.

Re: Larry Bird is a LOCK in Top 5 GOAT
No.
Bird isn't even really in the top 10 all-time. He's no better than D Wade.

Hard to compare them though as they played in a completely different age and were very different players. Both very team-orientated and did what was necessary to win.
