There's a lot of "fans" that are saying that he's overrated and his championships mean nothing since he won all 11 titles when there were only 8 teams, players were majority white, and the league lacked any competition.

SirBokChoySr Russell is top 10 all time but a lot of those arguments are partially true. If they weren't, Jordan would have zero claim to the goat title.

He's not MJ that had Julius Erving to look up to. He had to build his Own game. And Dominated the league. Not the GOAT tho. But still a LEGEND.

Yes. He, Wilt, Baylor, Oscar, Cousy, Jerry West...These guys basically turned the NBA into what it is today. For a Center, Russell established what was defense, reinvented the whole concept. Same way for Wilt and offense. And we all rave about guys like Draymond Green, who can do it all on defense: perimeter, rebounding, protecting the rim; Russell did all of those things too, in the 60's, when nobody could ever dream of such thing, and he was absolutely the best at protecting the rim. Too bad they didn't track blocks, it would just add to his legend see stats like 6 or 7 blocks per game for a whole season, and a bunch of quadruple-doubles.

I was lucky enough to grow up in SF and see all of Bill's home games at USF. Best player I've ever seen. He was by far the best defensive player and intimidated opponents. People forget how great an athlete he was. He ran the 440 in 49, was among the top 3 rated high jumpers in the world, and won 2 state championships in high school, 2 NCAA titles at USF, and 11 in the NBA in 13 seasons including 8 in a row. He was the ultimate team player and a superior human being, a leader in the true sense of the word.

The player everybody wants to play with and the man everyone wants in their corner. Bill will never be forgotten and I believe one day his entire impact will be seen. They say he played in a weak era but he played against 50 Hall Of Famers divided over 13 years and 8-12 teams, so essentially every team he played, had one at least. Not only was he the greatest champion in basketball history , he’s the greatest activist and leader in basketball history. You simply can’t measure a guy like him statistically, not that you can for anybody but even more so in Bills case. Just listen to any teammates, people he knew or people who know about him. Speak about him and it’s pretty obvious every person that truly knows about Bill Russell and some of his story, respects him tremendously. Rest In Peace Mr. Russell, I hope you, Red, Sam, Hondo, Wilt, Kobe, Pistol Pete, Willis and every other NBA legend are up there hooping until sun down every day.

K10N . Most people don’t give him his due credit because when he played there were only 8 teams in the league and the rules were a lot different. Plus there weren’t really any superstars before Bill so he didn’t really have that much competition, but with out him we wouldn’t have MJ, Magic, Kareem and so on. I’m sure if you ask any of the great players they’ll all say Bill was the greatest.

In my opinion Jordan is still the greatest. Bill Russell only played when nba was developing and Boston was the only good team in that time
