{The Official 2021-22 NBA Thread} - Finals: Warriors vs Celtics…{4-2 advantage warriors } Dubs NBA champs, Curry MVP

Hardly. Because I can watch West, Oscar, and Baylor from the same era as Russell and love the smoothness of their game. Russell on offense was visually offensive. :smh:

When J.R. rider did a between his legs dunk 30 years ago. Didn't take away from Dr. J, Mike, and Wilkins who I never saw do that shit. Jordan and doc still coming from the stripe. Wilkins still has his head at the rim. Eye test is there.

Some shit just holds up with time, other shit doesn't pass the eye test. 40 years from now, Steph's film will still show him shooting like a madman even if 10 players are shooting better than 50% for 3 while jacking up 10 per game.

Bill Russell plays a different position and style of game than Steph so comparing the two by watching them isn't a fair comparison in my opinion.

Some things do pass they eye test and the rest of time, most of those dunks don't though :roflmao:

I wish a nigga would do a "Statue of Liberty" dunk!:roflmao:
 
I actually like Steph but he way y'all on his dick is really starting to make me hate him. :lol:

People also hated Jordan and in your words, they rode his dick vigorously too.

And they were bouncing on his shit relentlessly nonstop the minute he stepped in the league.

So many might've found it hard to like him too because everyone was riding his dick like a roller coaster and this day never stopped. :rolleyes2:
 
What’s the hardest thing to do playing basketball? I’ll wait…

learn to play good defense. Some of the greatest players in history, never learned how to play defense, because of their size, athleticism, or lack of lateral quickness. You have to be more instinct and have good body control to be a good defender.

You can improve your shooting through practice and reps, and training.

I can understand Wilt. Watching Wilt on film. The cat was a fucking beast. Would he have trouble with Shaq. Hell yeah. Who wouldn't with prime Shaq? I been waiting for another Shaq for 30 fucking years. And this is the era of global talent, weights, premium nutrition, and still nothing close to him.

Now the one player that gets put in the top 10 that has no fucking place in their is Bill Russell. It's like no one has watched his film and they are scared to go against tradition. Just parrot his name. His offense was unbearable to watch and his pace-adjusted numbers ain't that great. Bill deserves respect for everything he did as a pioneer, but no fucking way is he top 10.
Mooon


I was going to make a post about Bill Russell not being top ten because he played in the cac era and looked at a vid first, I was laughing out loud at this high school level of NBA play


Man, those are the highlights. Folks have to sit down and watch(unfortunately) some of the game footage. Jesus christ. That shows all the busted shit. Like how he look at the ball while pounding it and then try to make some type of post move. :smh:
Bill Russell wasn't known for being a prolific scorer. He was revered for his defensive play first and for his rebounding and shot blocking as well.

Some Bill Russell facts:

  • Won NCAA then the next year, the NBA championship
  • Averaged 20 rebounds for 10 seasons
  • Most rebounds in a half (32)
  • 40 rebounds three times in playoff games (twice in the Finals)
  • 51 rebounds in two games and 49 in another
  • Twelve straight seasons of 1,000 or more rebounds
  • Played in 11 deciding games (10 times in Game 7s, once in a game 5) and ended with an 11-0 record.
  • In those 11 games, he averaged 18.3 points and 29.4 rebounds.
  • Ranks No. 1 in NBA history for defensive win shares at 133.6, with Tim Duncan in second at 106.3
  • While blocked shots were not a recorded basketball statistic during Russell’s career, he averaged 8.1 blocks in 135 games, as Boston writers often attempted to tally his blocks.
  • Bill Simmons has estimated that Russell had between 8 and 15 blocks per game in the playoffs.
 
I see a lot of celtics fans thinking he's going to Boston
I think he's staying put

He said his main focus on signing a new contract is winning.

If he signs with the Wizards it'll show that he's a liar.

Most like he'll sign the extension with the Wizards. If he's not able to negotiate a sign and trade he'll play with the Wizards for half a season and then pout.

He'll pretend to be unhappy with the direction of the organization to force a trade.

It's the NBA way.

He does this every year
Always with the rumors and he ends up staying put

Dude loves DC city life, the low expectations, got a baby on the way and is all about his bread. They were gonna try to ship his ass mid season but he smelled the rat and faked that wrist injury and shut it down for the season. He loves LA too and bought a house out there last summer so thats why i say long shot to them.

Didn't like MJ either. :lol:
 
Starting to? Man they anointed that little bitch GOAT status after the first title. Shit was sickening.. They were determined to make his white friendly ass and his kin the NBA first family.
Only reason they love his ass is because on TV he gives the average muthafucka hope. He's also makes them comfortable. They get intimidated when its a athletic 6'9 dude about his business....
 
HATE HIM
ain't nobody on his dick its been 2 years of SLANDER and him needing to PROVE he can lead a team like he wasn't already a champion
