If Russell is 1 this whole list is a fucking farce.

Russell at 3! Behind the Laker legends! AWESOME LIST.

Shaq was, of course, a much better player than Bill Russell, but I won't get greedy.

Wilt at #2 which means Kareem is the best center ever according to this list.

No. I defend him against what I consider to be over the top attacks from you, just like with Pippen. I have Kareem #1 and probably Wilt #2, although I go back and forth on him, Russell, and Shaq.

I argued against Russell before too when people say he's the best center ever.

Duncan being thrown into this group would be interesting.

Like Pippen, right place right time.

Shaq would have eaten him for lunch.

You're funny... dissing Russell and/or Pippen is just plain dumb...

 

I understand how you look at it... but I like you anyway   :wink:

They're both fine players. Just insanely overrated.

Russell had supernatural touch... he could lightly tap blocks and rebounds to exactly who-and-where he wanted them to go without ever actually controlling the ball...
