    Default Bill Russell is the greatest player of all-time

    Not Jordan, Not Kareem, Sorry. The 11 rings, 5 NBA MVPs speak for themselves. I'm just waiting for the he had no scoring game argument.

    a case can certainly be made....
    however, he played on absolutely stacked teams. 1960s not as strong as any era thereafter.
    Kareem has 6 MVPs, more than anyone, ever. kicked ass against the best in both the 70s and 80s.

    Sorry, but everybody played in a stacked team back then....The other Celtic players were honored to play with Bill Russell, Bill Russell was not honored to play with those other Celtics.

    Actually the 60's was the 2nd strongest decade of NBA Basketball only to the 80's.

    Correct Abe....by the way man, Wilt Chamberlain is the best individual basketball player ever....but he just wasn't the greatest. Definitely a Top 3 center to ever play the game, a lot could argue that he's the greatest. I just wouldn't.

    How did you get unbanned?
    Oh, and Russell has a good case for GOAT, I don't agree, but he was a great player.

    If his team was stacked where were they before him and after he left? They were a lottery team (if it existed back then) after he left.

    People forget that Russell averaged a solid amount of points and also ranked in the top 10 in assists 4x. Not bad for a guy who allegedly sucked on offense! Moreover, Russell could have scored more but he played a team first game instead of insisting on 20 shots every night regardless of how he was shooting, like many other legends.
