Bill Russell
|
"The reason people don't believe that is because Wilt's numbers were so big, they seemed so impossible that they almost don't seem real. So they try to diminish the era and those he played against. People can't comprehend numbers like that, things that he did every night in just about every game. So they try to find a way to dismiss them or devalue them and try to make them not real."
This is what is happening right now. Bill Russell would laugh at you guys talking down Wilt. Just embarrassing. |

If wilt was so bad, then Russell was too. I mean, Wilt got the best of Bill when the played. So what does this say about the guy they are propping up? |

Bill he was easy to get along with and focused more on winning than stats. His teammates loved him and it showed. End of the day you play to win not have the best stats. Basketball isn't an individual sport. Not taking anything away from Wilt he's an amazing player but for all his great stats he should have more than 2-championships. Celtics: 0 titles before Russell The year after he retires ('70) they miss the playoffs. The next year they miss the playoffs. '72 Wilt and the Lakers who Russell owned, win their first title and set an NBA record for wins. Coincidence? I think not.. |

So Chamberlain owned Russell and Chamberlain team players played poorly to lose to the Celtics. Because, Wilt outplayed Russell. Wilt did his part, the rest of the team did not do theirs. What, I forgot, you said Russell owned Wilt, as in outplaying him, yet you want to scream team sport! Well, which is it ? ******************* Define, owned? ************** Did you know that Wilt owned so bad by Russell that Russell allowed Wilt to grab 55 rebounds in one game? BTW, did you know that Russell owned Wilt so bad that Chamberlain led the league in rebounding 11 times, eight while Russell was still active. BTW, Did you know your Bill Russell was a stand up guy? Who does this to a friend ? Quote:

I think you'd have to say modern era would be Bo Jackson. Historically for longevity maybe Ali. Long time history Jim Thorpe or Jessie Owens. Golf is a pastime, not really a sport imho.

I love Bo, but not. Thorpe and Owens were agile enough to play. Chamberlain could do track, he was a monster so playing football was OK. Imagine Wilt boxing?:eek: I forgot the (ex-team mate) player who got mad at Wilt after Wilt had blocked several of his shots in the lane one game. He actually challenged Wilt, as he got ready to swing at Wilt,Wilt stuck out his arm and cupped his head as the guy swung 4 times,all missing because of wingspan. Wilt looked at him and said,OK,That's enough, the player acknowledged and said OK, walked away! |
Mickey Mantle was offered to be a RB at the best college football program in the history of CFB. He also dominated HS basketball.

So Tiger wins his first title in what seems like forever and now we are talking GOAT again. JFC
Last I checked he is in second place all time in golf. He doesn't belong on this list as it is currently written. Also, while I do believe that Mahomes will be deserving of the honor someday, he can't be on the list yet. |
