If Jordan replaces Russell on the 1960 Celtic's do they still win 11 rings.

In this what-if, both Jordan and Russell are swapped to each others era and teams.


How well do you think would the 1960's Celtics fare with Jordan instead of Russell does Wilt take some rings away from the Celtics if he never has to match up against Russell or would Jordan deny him much like Russell denied him during that era.





And also how well would the 1990's bulls fare with Russell on there team instead of Jordan would Russell's leadership, defence, rebounding and outlet passing abilities be enough for the Bulls to still win 6 rings throughout the course of 1990s.

2 completeley different eras. You can't just pluck one player from an era and expect him to be the same player.

Depends if baldan is willing to sacrifice ppg in order to make his teammates better

No. Is he going to get those 20+ rebounds a game that Russell was collecting? And guard Wilt? Wilt couldn’t win with a 40ppg sidekick. No way does MJ win.

No it doesn't. One is a center, the other a guard.
You have to replace the vacant starter slot which skews the argument further.
