Those saying Russell played in a weak era, he can't be GOAT

[livinglegend]

you are wrong. You play with the cards you re dealt with. Russell did almost the best one could have possibly done:11 championship in 12 seasons.

Anyone claiming Jordan is better than LeBron should also say that Russell is better than MJ

No double standards here

Why are you so objective? Are you some kind of programmed robot?

Take a look at the 66-67 Lakers.

The "Lebron and Wade" of their era...a prime Wst and a near-prime Baylor, who averaged 55 ppg combined...

and then take a look at the careers of these players...

Mahdi Abdul-Rahman (Walt Hazzard), Rudy LaRusso, Archie Clark, and Gail Goodrich...

to go along with a 6-10 center, and two more seven-footers (one a PF)...

and guess what...

a 36-45 record.


Think about that...how often did Lebron and Wade go 36-45 in their four seasons together?

The offensive repertoire/skillset of a prime Eric Spoelstra.

Jordan was the more accomplished player and the better one.

Hey bro how's med school?

Can you point out the Finals in which Spoelstra put up 24 ppg on a .538 FG%? Or a Finals in which Spoelstra averaged 18 ppg on a .702 FG%?
And how about Spoelstra's 30 point game in a game seven of the Finals?

Hell, find me David Robinson or Partick Ewing with Finals' performances like those.

How was he more accomplished? Russell won as many MVP as Jordan, but he almost won twice the rings.

That guy knows nothing about 60s. He doesn't have a mind of his own. He just repeats what the media and the rest of the forum tells him to repeat.

while I think it's a little to early to say Westbrook will finish with 11 championships, he certainly is playing in a weak era.. You know that when LeBron James is the best player in the league and a 36 year old Kobe can still dominate.

ISH, where shooting 39% on a 6-16 team is dominating

I was replying to dubeta about LeBron, bro.

Russell is the most accomplished player ever. :cheers:

It was a joke illustrating my irritation with Bill Russell being considered >>> Wilt by many on here. Bill was a smarter player who got to take full advantage of playing under a coach who was revolutionizing the way basketball was being played. But Wilt was the greater talent no question.

Oh, I apologize then.

I am so used to the 60's bashing that goes on here...
