yet you have Nowitzki at #20

 

[Shanemansj13]

Wait? Did you call Dirk a role player?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Ole Billy is one of the most overrated players of all-time. 44% for a "big man" is AWFUL in any day and age. He was a great defender and rebounder, a pretty good passer for his position. Like I said an amazing role player...a Draymond Green type of player in this day and age.

Dirk was unstoppable...defense wasn't his forte but he could do everything else on the floor and his shot was unblockable. His post up fade was undefendable and he won a championship with a bunch of role players. Ole Billy was a role player on a team that 6 HOFrs...there is no comparison...Dirk is much better

This is overstated but in general I agree. Russell is pretty overrated.

Russell was also a great shot blocker the the backbone of the greatest dynasty the league's ever seen. But he belongs in the top 50. Steve Nash but not Russell? You have George Mikan listed who's career FG% is .404. Now that's funny since you mentioned Russell's FG%.

Mikan led the league in scoring 3 times...Russell was a great role player nobody can deny that but if you can't score the ball you are not a top 10 player and in his case he isn't close to a top 10 player. Most people who think Russell is a top player is bc of the rings and leadership...what you just described is describing a role player. He was a mini Rudy Gobert with a bad FG % lolzzz

He got dominated by Wilt every time they played yet he was 57-37 against Wilt. Why? Bc he had 5-6 HOF'rs on his team while Wilt had next to nothing.



37% lolzzz

So you have an issue with Russell's FG% but not with Mikan who has a lower FG%. Makes sense. The 3 years he led the league in scoring his FG% was .416, .407 & .428. And everyone from that era got dominated by Wilt.

One thing I forgot to say. I don't think he's top 10. But I think he's top 50.
