Calvin Natt could have had very similar numbers and just as many rings as BR#6 if he were in that era on that Celtics team.

And that is not a joke.

teehee.... I am biased as he was my first favorite Blazer s a fan that I adored.

This thread and all the people better than Bill Russell is making me laugh. I havent seen Manute Bol or Pee Wee Herman mentioned yet, but the list has been good hahaha.

Moses Malone would have rocked Russell's world.

I'm wondering now: Just how many games was Wilt the high scorer in a game his team LOST?

That's one category no one should ever want to rank high in.

A better way of phrasing my last:

That's a category ball hogs are likely to rank higher in than unselfish, TEAM players.

Kwame Brown >>>>>>>> Bill Russell

Russell has a goatee. That's the only way "GOAT" will EVER be associated with him.

Big Bird > Bill Russell

Ahhh, okay. Yeah, Wilt was a real liability on offense. If that son of a bitch would have passed the ball more instead of dunking over people like Bill Russell, the Lakers would have won more.

You can't use the rings argument.

Bill had more.

Also, Wilt did not "overvalue" offense. He scored like he did in Philly because he had to for them to win. When he became a Laker and joined the likes of Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and Gail Goodrich, his scoring dropped dramatically.


As a Warrior/76er, he averaged well over 30 points per game, but as a Laker, he only averaged 17.7 ppg. He still averaged 20 rebounds per game as a Laker.
