It may interest you to know that Russell was a track star at USF. Didn't know that did you? And height alone does not translate into better...
Olajuwon was a better scorer than Russell, I don't believe anyone's said otherwise. However, scoring is only one aspect. Russell was a superior...
If you call Bill Russell, Walt Bellamy, Nate Thurmond, Willis Reed, Wes Unseld, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dave Cowens, Bob Lanier no competition......
Russell WAS the only constant. He was the only one there from beginning to end... ------------------ THE REGULATOR "I'm not the showstopper,...
Making that statement to prove your point is bogus and you know it. Blocked shots were not kept until the 1973-74 season, four years after Russell...
So you completely dismiss the fact that he was the greatest shotblocker and defensive player ever to play the game, one of the two greatest...

Okay, thanks... ------------------ THE REGULATOR "I'm not the showstopper, I'm _RUNNING_ the show!"
I'm glad that someone remembers this, that Wilt ran track. The people who talk about how much more mobile, faster, quicker, Shaq is than Wilt have...
Exactly...all the people who lavish praise on Shaq and fawn about how dominant he is convieniently neglect to mention that the center position is...
That's completely ludicrous. It's sickening how much they try to hype up Shaquille O'Neal. He had no business being voted one of the 50 Greatest...
Weak competition? It was the strongest it's ever been. The league was undiluted by expansion as it is now. There were no Vancouver Grizzlies or...
