@@goatbrook1068 There is literally videos showing his teammates, including the big man Steven Adams, boxing out for Russ to come in and take the rebound and initiate the fast break. It was part of their strategy as a team but it also helped "stat pad" Russell's rebounding numbers. Nonetheless it is impressive as hell what Russ did, but it is not hate to say Russell did indeed stat pad compared to Oscar.

@@petergriffin1689 ah yes, because you've seen oscar robertson every single game get lots of rebounds. Stfu lmao you wouldn't know that, plus the reason he even stat pads in the first place was to carry the fastbreak and to get easy buckets. That's why he was always top 5 in fastbreak points.

@petergriffin1689 4 жыл бұрын

@@goatbrook1068 lol look at you getting mad over youtube. It ain't that serious dude. You literally just repeated what I already said about the Thunder's strategy of allowing Russ to stat pad rebounds so he could initiate the fast break. In Oscars era, if the scorer took a step after receiving the pass the assist didn't count. Made it much tougher to actually rack up assists. Also he was averaging 10 rebounds during an era when the big men DOMINATED the paint. Clearly you are ignorant about Oscar and are projecting your ignorance onto me. You can simply go watch old games on youtube of Oscar playing and see for yourself that the big men on his team did not implement a strategy to box out everyone in the paint so that Oscar could come swoop in for the rebound.

I love how humble Magic always is. He's talking about averaging a triple double for a season and doesn't even bring up that he has gotten closer than any other player in NBA history since Big O. In '82 he averaged 18.6ppg 9.6rpg 9.5apg in just 38 mpg. Then in '83 he avg. 16.8ppg 8.6rpg 10.6apg i just 36 mpg. Had he played 40mpg in either of those seasons, he could have easily averaged a triple double. Wilt was also close in '68 when avg. 24.3ppg 23.8rpg 8.6apg.

This was honestly too forced by the media to be a rivalry. That’s why it didn’t last long. By 2009, Kobe had 3 championships, 1 MVP and proved he was the best skilled player in the league 2006-2009 run. LeBron went to the finals in 2007 but was nowhere near Kobe in terms of killer instinct at that time. Magic and Larry came in together and met in the Finals countless times. This “rivalry” doesn’t make any sense to me. Even now.

LeBron learned everything the hard way! What ppl underestimate is that he has a guy like Wade now he motivates him on and off the court. Lebron knew he was better than everyone he ever played with. I cant remember a game when one of his players outscored him on his team! Now he has DWade, an ultimate competitor (look at ANY Cavs vs. Heat game prior to "The Decision") and the only player LBJ played w/ that can outscore him on a night. They will each rise each other up even w/ LBJ being the BEST!

@DrummerAlden52 GM's dont matter? A GM's main responsibilities include free agent signings, trades, draft preparation, marketing - pretty much the day to day running of a franchise. Those are important jobs for someone who "doesnt matter". If you draft the right players and trade well you win championships. The Bulls and the Lakers were proof of this when they dominated the NBA.

Lebron is a mix of at least 3 players, he is just to unique....

So Lebron is at least a mix of 3 players, like Magic, Jordan, Dominique all in one to me.

@WoWCreflo Now what you should have said was that scoring 69 points in the playoffs is a greater feat. This is something we can both agree on. Because everyone knows that scoring in the playoffs is much harder than the season. The play is more physical, the defensive strategies are more fine tuned, and the stakes and motivation is higher. Also the teams you play against are the best in the league and the games are close so there is not much time to rest. So Jordan still has the edge on Kobe.

@mikester8821 nope that is a fallacy... pointing out an advantage that a player has does not mean that if the advantage is taken away, the player would not achieve the same if not better results. Same goes to pointing out a disadvantage of a player and saying he WOULD achieve better results. but i do strongly agree that on the premise of determining which player is BETTER as a whole, rings account for very little in the debate. i love kobe, and i can deny LBJ's skills both are fun to watch.
