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

[QUOTE=DaSeba5]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.[/QUOTE]
That is fine. But there is NO argument for Oscar. That is where he lost me.

It's his opinion argument is just stupid. Under that he could just put Kwame Brown up there. You have to at least be able to make a cogent argument.

[QUOTE=IGOTGAME]That is fine. But there is NO argument for Oscar. That is where he lost me.[/QUOTE]

I agree with you. Oscar is not even in my top 10, but it's his opinion.

[QUOTE=plowking]CavsFTW looking stupid. Arguing against Lebron but the doing the same thing hes doing. Lol... do you even know how to debate?[/QUOTE]

He's trolling for the sake of it. He's not that stupid, he's just carrying this on because it's Lebron.

Sounds like he just named the players he revolved his game around :confusedshrug:

He was asked a question and he answered. I'm not sure he was expected to go into a deep analysis about it. Besides Oscar is a great player. Kwame Brown isn't. So...

There is only one person on every single mt rushmore of basketball and his name is michael jeffrey jordan the other 3 is a debate

He couldn't do it if he had weeks. There is no argument hat you could make to put Oscar in the top 4. Just not possible under any criteria.

[QUOTE=JohnFreeman]"LeBron can't have an opinion waaaa wahhh wahhh" Man some of you a sensitive[/QUOTE]

And in the process disrespecting greats like Shaq, Hakeem, Duncan, KAJ, Wilt in addition to the players listed in Lebron's Mount Rushmore.

If you were gonna go the older player route you'd choose Wilt anyways. He was unquestionably better than Russell. Kareem as well.

Honestly, the legend of Bill Russell is pretty exaggerated.

The dude was a very good basketball player in his day. Ok. Awesome. He also played in a nine team league full of white tax accountants. Wow. That's great.

Shaquille O'Neal was the MDE in a much more competitive era. People have no problem criticizing him. Bran is the most dominant player on Earth, in an era where practically every kid on the planet who grew up watching MJ picked up a basketball and tried to make it to the NBA. Bill Russell was the most dominant out of a group of, what, 500,000 kids who grew up playing basketball? Bran is the best player out of like a billion.


Take the mindless, simplistic talking point of "rings" and add an old dude who did it a long time ago, and you basically create the invincible second coming of jesus christ. I swear, the base public just loves creating idols to worship.


Beta as f*ck.


That's all.

You write like one of those retarded bitches on Jezebel.

Why did Lebron apologize in the first place? :confusedshrug:

IMO he shouldn't have mentioned it all. :facepalm

Maybe he was just making a point that Oscar is too often overlooked in discussions of the game's greats.

It's not like anyone is actually beginning construction on a real basketball mount rushmore based on Lebron's selections.

If the dude wants to shout out Oscar, who GAF

Niqqa averaged a triple double in a season. To say there is no criteria is stupid. He is the GOAT all around player. Which is why Lebron put him on the list.

[QUOTE=IGOTGAME]He couldn't do it if he had weeks. There is no argument hat you could make to put Oscar in the top 4. Just not possible under any criteria.[/QUOTE]

triple double and his stats

putting more stock into individual greatness over winning?

there is a weak argument there but it exists

Man you bran stans need to stop being so sensitive, Bill Russell the GOAT calls out bran for being ignorant and suddenly all you have caught feelings, there are more bran stans in this thread than basketball fans and all you poor souls are doing is crying on each others shoulder over this comment trying to justify what bran said as you sniffle away the pain. Russell taught bran a lesson, he'll get over it, you guys should too quit being betas :oldlol:

you were crying all throughout this thread my man :biggums:

Russell didn't realize that Lebron picked guys with all around games, smart and had immaculate skill. Russell isn't remotely in that conversation. If Lebron were to name a center it would have been Wilt or Hakeem.

Lebron's intention was obvious as hell.

[QUOTE=navy]Niqqa averaged a triple double in a season. To say there is no criteria is stupid. He is the GOAT all around player. Which is why Lebron put him on the list.[/QUOTE]
He really wasn't. 10 guys played the game of basketball all around better than he did. Oscar was never the best player in the lg or seriously in the argument.

So much ignorance. Some of you kiddos need to take your Flintstone vitamins and hit the sack. It's past your bedtime, let the grownups discuss the GOATs

Lebron just doesn't respect Russel. This was shown after he decided to where number 6.

Damn Bill Russell just dropped that oldschool knowledge on Lebron :applause:

Who is crying, accept you?:oldlol:
The truth is Lebron named a second rushore and put Russel on there. Nobody cares.

You're still butthurt that Lebron ditched the shit stain of a city that is Cleveland. Get over it.

n-n-n-no he doesn't count! :lol

Kareem > Russell

[QUOTE=Akrazotile]Shaquille O'Neal was the MDE in a much more competitive era.[/QUOTE]

Wilt was the most dominant ever.

[QUOTE=Akrazotile]The dude was a very good basketball player in his day. Ok. Awesome. He also played in a nine team league full of white tax accountants. Wow. That's great. [/Quote]

And Wilt, Oscar, Baylor, West, Petit and Hondo. All guys who have top 20 credentials. There was also HOF centers like Thurmond, Bellamy and Lanier.

[QUOTE=Akrazotile]Bill Russell was the most dominant out of a group of, what, 500,000 kids who grew up playing basketball? Bran is the best player out of like a billion.[/quote]

No, that was Wilt. And there's every reason to think it would still be Wilt today given his physical size and abilities.

[QUOTE=FrobeShaw]triple double and his stats

Several guys who put up better seasons than Oscar. Kareem, Wilt, Jordan, Shaq. Oscar wasn't individually superior to all his peers, he was never in the convo for best player.

[QUOTE=IGOTGAME]He really wasn't. 10 guys played the game of basketball all around better than he did. .[/QUOTE]
10 guys? Are you delusional?:oldlol:

A triple double in a season. Show me 10 people who did that.

[QUOTE=IGOTGAME]Several guys who put up better seasons than Oscar. Kareem, Wilt, Jordan, Shaq. Oscar wasn't individually superior to all his peers, he was never in the convo for best player.[/QUOTE]

he put up the only triple double seasons in history and somehow he wasn't superior

this guy :oldlol:

[QUOTE=navy]10 guys? Are you delusional?:oldlol:[/QUOTE]

Jordan
Magic
Bird
Duncan
Hakeem
Kareem
Wilt
Shaq
Kobe
Russell

[QUOTE=IGOTGAME]He really wasn't. 10 guys played the game of basketball all around better than he did. Oscar was never the best player in the lg or seriously in the argument.[/QUOTE]

Care to name those 10 players? Oscar has 43 more career tripple doubles than the next player on the list (obviously Magic). Oscar won an MVP btw, so he was considered the best player that year. Thing is that he played during the era of Rusell and Wilt, who have 9 MVPs between them.
