Can any old heads say how many Finals MVPs Bill Russell would've gotten

if the award existed in his time?

[i]Racists would of given them all to Bob Cousy[/i]

The consensus is that he would have won 7 at worst and 9 at most.

Even our resident Wilt fan admits that AT WORST, Russell would have 6.

West won in 1969 and Hondo probably gets it in 1968. Maybe Heinshon in 1957 (Russell's rookie year). That's 8 left. Think Jones had a case in 1964 or 1965 (forgot which year exactly). 7-9 is a very accurate assessment imo.

Cousy deserved 57 and 60 . Hondo deserved 69 and probably 68 . Seven or eight , six at least .

11.
