He has the GOAT resume' but he is pretty much a Ben Wallace level player who played on the most stacked team ever relative to the competition in an 8 team league.

Where you'd draft a player is a completely different discussion than where they rank on the all-time list. A lot of people would draft Shaq ahead of Jordan. That doesn't mean that Shaq had the better career.

True. I wouldn't draft Russell in the top 20. I would take guys like KG, Ewing, D Rob, and Moses Malone ahead of him.

Only Lebron haters.

In terms of pure on the court skills as a player without accolades, Russell is ranked at the bottom of the top 10 GOATS.

Russell x11!!! We're talking about a guy who had the toughest defensive assignment in the history of basketball.

A balding 6'8 guy with a small ***** and 30lbs less muscle mass would not phase him.

From the 80s onward? No way, that's Lebron and not close. In the late 50s-60s? I might take Russell then, or it would at least be closer.

You stan the guy who put up mind-blowing stats when the stakes were smallest against far weaker competition in his era. When it mattered in the playoffs and especially finals, Lilt couldn't come within 75% of his regular season scoring.

Wilt is not even in the same tier as the King.

It is not completely different. The two lists should be fairly similar
