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

[QUOTE=CavaliersFTW]bran stans have reached new levels of delusion :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:[/QUOTE]
lol @ me as a lebron stan rofl..................go to any other lebron thread and tell me if u see me posting in there.....dont worry ill wait

[QUOTE=FrobeShaw]why are some of you guys getting mad like you are related to russell?[/QUOTE]

^This. I willing to bet Russell would feel humbled if LeBron randomly put him in his Mt. Rushmore. Its not that a big deal people, but Russell made it into one.

[QUOTE=CavaliersFTW]Wouldn't you be butthurt if you had 11 NBA championship rings? Oh wait nvm...

Russell delivered a cold dose of ether, with a smile on his face, plain and simple - bran stans catching feelings :oldlol:[/QUOTE]

Whenever Lebron is mentioned you end up looking stupid and more butthurt than Russell. :oldlol:

Wow I have never in my life encountered a more sensitive stanbase, bran stans are virtually in tears right now over russell's comment, the amount of ether he delivered to bran was too much for them to handle :oldlol:

[QUOTE=9erempiree]I usually don't get upset on here but it is pretty sad that people are disrespecting Russell.

:facepalm[/QUOTE]

he's above criticism because he's old!

This thread is ridiculous - on both sides. Russell deserves his respect, but he does not have to be on everyone's top 4 list for the opinion to be 'informed'. There are many players that could be argued as top 4 depending on the perspective you look at.

[QUOTE=Akrazotile]Nah, bragging is an old people move tho. Always talkin bout what they did in their day, how their generation was better, etc.


Reminds me of an old Jim Carrey standup bit where he talks about how "You can always tell how boring someone's life is, by how far back they have to reach for glory." *starts talking like an old man*: "Remember... Remember how fast I used to be... When I was a sperm!"


Russell sounds like hes damn near close to death with this saltiness.[/QUOTE]

LMFAO! I heard that Carrey skit a few days on the radio on my way to work, I nearly died laughing.

Bill Russell obviously felt threatened by Lebron James ascend in the GOAT ranking. He bitter and insecure.

[QUOTE=plowking]Specifically being asked a question is different to writing a soliloquy about how upset about someones opinion you are.

Bron has always given past players their due. This time he can't name every single great ever to play, so people throw a fit when he doesn't name a particular guy. Who cares? Russell isn' in my top 4 or 5 either, and I'm sure many others on here.[/QUOTE]

Nobody would have a problem with that, but because it's LeBron it's a huge deal. These people make Bran stans look good I swear. He's not allowed to have an opinion. If he picked Russell and had Bird or Magic out of his top 4, they and the people here will make him look foolish, and then you would see this thread for Magic or Bird instead.

Calling people sensitive and butthurt doesn't make your opinion any better. It's only a top 4. Somebody is going to be left out, and no matter what, those fans and that player is not going to be happy.

Russel and KAJ should be a little insulted. No way that Oscar is even close to that better than them.

That's not at all what happened. He was just telling the young pup to respect his gangster is all. Pretty standard really.

His opinions are totally uninformed when it comes to NBA history, he's simply getting called out for it. Which he deserves. If you're going to open up about a subject and make bold statements (such as an NBA 'mount rushmore') you had best do your homework and think it through. Leaving Bill Russell off? Seriously? It's just ridiculous, why even make a list if you're not aware how huge Bill Russell is to the game of basketball, he is no less mandatory on an NBA 'mt rushmore' than Michael Jordan is.

yeah, you're right...magic/bird have no business infront of him :coleman:

[QUOTE=IllegalD]Bill Russell to LeBron James during the pre-game (per Craig Sager):

[I]"Thank you for leaving me off your Mount Rushmore. Im glad you did. Basketball is a team game. Its not for individual honors. I won back-to-back state championships in highschool. Back-to-back NCAA championships in college. I won an NBA championship my first year in the league. An NBA championship my last year. 9 in between. And that, Mr. James, is etched in stone."[/I]

But it's his opinion. It's a top 4 out of thousands of players. Somebody is going to get left out. Maybe if he left Jordan out or something, but I've seen plenty of people not have Russell in their top 4.

Are you saying that a top 4 consisting of, say, MJ, Kareem, Wilt and Magic/Bird is ridiculous?

I have Russell in my top 4, but that list I gave you is fine. There is no set GOAT list.

[QUOTE=FrobeShaw]they are essentially saying there should be a strict list that can never be changed or challenged! :biggums:[/QUOTE]

Yes people are acting like there's some certain list set in stone, and everyone who goes against that list is uninformed.
