If you replace Wilt in his Lakers years with Russell from 1966-1969
How good are the Lakers in those seasons, how does Russell perform with those Lakers and do they get more than one championship?
I personally think the Lakers win titles in 1969 and 1970 as Russell was more mobile and therefore would be more effective against Reed in the 1970 finals.
Plus I don't think Russell fights with Vbk and tries to knock him out as Wilt tried to do in real life before thankfully West and Baylor stopped him in the locker room from doing so :lol:
I also think that Russell would get along with Baylor, unlike Wilt who despised Baylor and viewed him as being nothing more than a washed-up superstar who was a ball hog that got in his way on offence which truthfully he was not wrong about and there is a reason why the Lakers immediately won a title and went on a 33 game win streak after Baylor retired that season.
I also think that the Lakers don't win the title in 1972 as Russell would struggle to guard Kareem as well as Wilt did throughout that series.
This means the Bucks win the 1972 WCF in 6 games giving Kareem his 2 ring and 2 finals Mvp along with 2 regular season MVPs all in his first 3 seasons which is crazy.
