Bill Russell.

Nah... Maybe 7-8 FMVPs if they were given before 1969. He would have clearly won at least 9 DPOYs back then.

I believe Kareem would have had between 2 and 4 DPOY awards also.

[Uncle Drew]

Michael Jordan.

Kobe has a case here, not the best but definitely has a case. Dont be disrespectful

i agree on everything except for kobe > bill. they're both overrated. but i take anything bill did in the 60's with a grain of salt. 8 teams in the league, bill's being the most stacked. just imagine, a 6'9 'center' dominating this era. durant would win 12 rings in that era.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Kobe has a case here, not the best but definitely has a case. Dont be disrespectful
No. He really doesn't.

Oh I know. He's my pick though since the OP isn't counting MJ votes for some strange reason.

[k0kakw0rld]

First of all, Chamberlain is the GOAT
2nd Jordan
3rd KAJ

You actually think Durant is the second best player ever?

Edit: greatest not best*

[gts]

Jordan is the second greatest player of all time....

Gretzky

Nah, obviously trolling. But the OP lost credibility by ignoring MJ votes so it's a pointless thread.

kobe has a better case being second greatest of all time than MJ not being the GOAT

[DonDadda59]

:kobe:

Take us through your reasoning for why the above nonsense is true. Make the best case you can.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Gretzky
Outliers had an absolutely stacked team. In fact they won after trading him.

You're right, Russell's teams were never stacked.

:coleman:

[kc16]

I'm going with Kareem.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

You're right, Russell's teams were never stacked.

:coleman:
They were certainly good but they didn't do shit before Russell or after he retired. Youre right though. Gretzky was dominant probably has a good case. 9 mvps iirc.

[Black and White]

Kobe has a case here, not the best but definitely has a case. Dont be disrespectful

:wtf:

[salwan]

Russell :rockon:

[Psileas]

As I suspected before I even opened the thread, the OP doesn't count Jordan votes (per OP, having Jordan at #2 = trolling...), so there's no point in voting.

[zoom17]

Kareem

[Shade8780]

Big Bill. Greatest champion of all time :bowdown:

Hondo did win 2 titles post Russell. That being said, Russell has a case. Still I'll vote Wilt just because KAJ is running away with this. If Wilt had played as long as Kareem, it wouldn't be a question.

He really meant that? Wow. Weak. Guess having KAJ as #1 is a crime then.

[Round Mound]

Wilt and Peak Wise The GOAT

[Prometheus]

I think Bill Russell is BY FAR the most overrated basketball player in history. I am 100% not trolling in any way; this is what I truly believe. He was a great player for sure, but I honestly wouldn't even rank him in my top 15 if I was to create such a list. I think he played the perfect role on the most dominant franchise in pro sports history, and is extremely lucky that he and the Dipper were not in opposite roles. In today's league, I believe he would be a moderate upgrade from peak Ben Wallace.

The only reason I decided to post this mini-rant is because in summary, I want to put my opinion out there that Wilt was vastly, vastly superior as a basketball player to Bill Russell. Wilt Chamberlain is my pick not just for the #2 player of all time, but that I believe the #1 spot is a toss-up between Jordan and Wilt.
