Russell also isn't considered the greatest of all time.

Kobe has a chance to be the greatest ever. Only way he gets there is if he plays considerably better than MJ did down the stretch of his career. He may end up being the most productive. And even if he plays 3-5 more seasons than MJ, I don't know if he's the greatest to play.

His name will be mentioned in the same sentence as the all-time greats.

We will never have to worry about Kobe Bryant winning 7 championships. He might get one more, but he won't get three more...

So I guess they should just throw out all of the records from the 60's and 70's on back? And Is that why the NBA's Finals MVP is now called the Bill Russell award?2quik4u wrote:Bill Russell played in the 60's against a bunch of white guysosu45804 wrote: Bill Russell has 11 Rings so no

I was just merely pointing out that Bill Russell was playing against inferior talent.osu45804 wrote:So I guess they should just throw out all of the records from the 60's and 70's on back?

If so yes I feel he will be considered there or right there.
Although I am one of the guys who feels that MJ is not the clear cut best ever. Oscar,Kareem, and Wilt were dominant from statistic perspectives and Bill won the most.

Just because I give my opinion on a subject about the NBA and it involves me brining up the Celtics I automatically accused of complaining. I was just bringing up discussion about Bill Russell and how someone was saying b/c he played in a different era the stats and accomplishments don't matter. Also I always get singled out b/c I think there are maybe 2-3 Celtics fans on this site including me as compared to numerous Lakers/Cavs fans. It's all in good fun though Go Celtics!
