ESPN disrespected Bill Russell the most

[Akhenaten]

Wade was the most disrespected imo.

yeah they shitted on bro, basically said his three rings didnt mean shit especially his ring in 06

Durant over him is espn spitting in his face

[Black and White]

All trolling and stanning aside let's face the fact the both Kobe and Lebron would be lucky to be in the top 10 all time....

Bingo, look at some of the greats that we name on our lists, they would BOTH be honored to be there with players of that caliber.

Exactly. I can see an argument for either of them in the 8+ range but then you have other guys who are being snubbed or forgotten.

I'm talking all things fair though, if you are purely rating based on if you took guys like Wilt to our time in a time machine and player everyone one on one or something then maybe they'd both rank higher but it's hard to punish guys based on their era and the vast differences in rules/athletic traing/medical attention and the like.

Pippen over Wade was the worst.

[Kobe_6/8]

This list is ridiculous, ESPN just wants to get the media talking. Durant over Wade? 11 time champion Russell at #7?

[Nuff Said]

5 mvp's and almost twice the amount of rings as Jordan. Ranked 7. Foh.

The finals MVP award is ****ing named after Russell for gods sake, ESPN just don't get it.

[ArbitraryWater]

I don't see many people talking about how badly they disrespected him, 7th? are you kidding me? just further proves it was a troll listing.

because they didnt, now leave

[Black and White]

11 time champion, you don't just disregard that, despite era's.

[jlip]

I agree with the OP. And people need to cut this nonsense out acting like the only thing contributing to Russell's greatness is the number of championships he won. He has just as many MVPs as MJ, winning most of them against other top 15 players. He has five rebounding titles. Only Rodman and Wilt have more. If blocks were counted in his era he would have led the league in that stat a few times, also. So he has the perfect combination of championships, personal accolades, and stats. But I forgot, a player is only considered statistically dominant when they win shot jacking... I mean... scoring titles.

[Magic 32]

Lebron said that Russell was not top 4, and ESPN said....ok.

[Bankaii]

Russell is so overrated.
Defense is only overstated when talking about him.
Dude was a massive choker in the Finals, and got carried by his stacked team in a weak era.

They named the fmvp award after him, not his teammates. Foh.

[sportjames23]

Bspn disrespected the entire history of basketball by naming Lebron 3rd all time

Look at his ****ing jumpshot last year in the finals and tell me hes the 3rd greatest basketball player of all time

Look at all the ISOs he had and couldnt do shit

LESPN is a joke. I knew they were Bran stans but damn this shit is ridiculous.

Bran in 3rd place all time? Over Russell, Wilt, Magic, Bird, Shaq? FOH
