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

[QUOTE=CavaliersFTW]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.[/QUOTE]

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.

Thats an uninformed opinion if you believe that. Start reading up some more.

Why are you still here?:

[QUOTE][QUOTE=plowking]Whenever Lebron is mentioned you end up looking stupid and more butthurt than Russell. :oldlol:[/QUOTE]

ahem...

[QUOTE=plowking]Russell looks like the idiot, not James. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and Russell just comes off looking old, grumpy and stupid. [B]If you're as secure with your place in history as you claim, you wouldn't have to talk.[/B][/QUOTE]

Bran earlier this week:
[I]"I will be on NBA

"LeBron can't have an opinion waaaa wahhh wahhh" Man some of you a sensitive

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

they are essentially saying there should be a strict list that can never be changed or challenged! :biggums:

[QUOTE=IGOTGAME]Russel and KAJ should be a little insulted. No way that Oscar is even close to that better than them.[/QUOTE]

This, Bran is entilted to his opinion but if its a dumb as **** opinion people will let you know.


Russel with that ether :bowdown: .

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.

Bill Russell caught feelings but had nothing but words to retaliate, he can't play anymore.:oldlol:

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

:facepalm[/QUOTE]

That's all these LeBron trolls

CavsFTW looking stupid. Arguing against Lebron but the doing the same thing hes doing. Lol... do you even know how to debate?
