How is Bill Russell overrated for winning 11 rings?
He didn't win those rings by himself, I think Wilt could have the same amount of rings if he was on those ancient Celtic squads
Not true, do the history, plus nobody ever talks about "Russell had the benefit of playing with Cousy" or Sam Jones or KC Jones etc.. matter fact Shizlansky thinks he's a better player than Cousy that's the type of respect he gets around here
Huh? lol of course he's better than Cousy... but anyway...
I don't think comparing rings is the best way to always compare who was a better player... for example... nobody is putting Robert Horry in their top ten because of his 7 rings...
I look at it like this...
Bill Russell averaged 15.1 PPG, 22.5 REB, 4.3 AST, on 44% FG's (11 RINGS)
Wilt Chamberlain averaged 30.1 PPG, 22.9 REB, 4.4 AST, on 54% FG's (1 RING)
If we're talking about who do you wan't to run with in a pick up game, or one on one... I'm picking Wilt over Russ...
I think we overrated some legends too much... a lot of teams weren't even shooting 40% back then, that's why they were averaging 20+ rebounds for their career...
