Russell to LeBron: "Thank you for leaving me off your Mt. Rushmore."

[QUOTE=IGOTGAME]I doubt Lebron has ever seen a full game of Oscar in his prime, ever. It also hasn't been a progression either.[/QUOTE]

Lebron has always said he wanted to do what Oscar did. And Magic talked of Oscar's all around game and he would be the key element in the progression. Big guards with handles and all around game peaking every 20 years. No???

Bill Russel in today's league would be Larry Sanders.

Russel b!tch slaps LeBron.

Kareem> Russell
MJ > Russell
Magic > Russell
Bird> Russell
Wilt > Russell

Russell could have been the GOAT but he never got his skill act together. That's on him and nobody else. I doubt that he ever saw this far down the line that he would be in this situation. But if you don't work on your craft, people aren't going to call you the best. Its the law of reality. And Russell didn't work on his game. In no other sport is the top player not very skilled. Just like the artist who is carving out the rock needs to be tops in his craft, and know how to work the rock. Russell didn't cultivate working with the rock.

Russell decided he didn't need to work on his craft. That's on him. He had great foot movement by nature and could have dominated the post. He chose not to work on it. Or at least in a way that others would emulate.

Lebron was nice and didn't say "oh no, I only have people skilled with the pill on my mount." That's a very legit argument. Its could be viewed different if he didn't have an equal competitor already up there.

? And why would he waste his time on that sh*t when he's winning every single season?

There's NOTHING bad 'on him' about how he played the game given how much success he had winning at every stage, absolutely nothing. Maybe all the people who focus on skill should take a page out of his book for wasting their time polishing skills and not focusing enough on figuring out the absolute basic raw intangibles necessary that go into winning you know? I'm actually more inclined to think that than to take your stance on the matter. The way Russell played the game just might be the [I]perfect[/I] way to play.

Dude is so mad Lebron doesn't respect him. Guy won his titles against 5-5 white guys. 1 Lebron titles is like 8 from the 60's.

#insecure When you have to talk about your past accomplishments just because somebody doesn't have you in their top 5. Kobe on the other hand responded intelligently.
