The last two pages of this thread have been thoroughly disappointing.

I can see this, Russell was the center piece for a Celtics dynasty...where Wallace was a center for a good Pistons team.

I'm just glad that the widely held rumor that there was no NBA played before 1984 has been dispelled today.

Bill Russel was not a tank. He was pretty thin actually but was very strong(sinewy). Met him out here once on a golf course. He is TALL

Bill Russell played in an era with no where near the talent that we have in today's game. Do you really think Bill Russell would be going around dribbling the ball and passing like he's Magic against this era's NBA?

They are basically the same player, limited offensively but great defenders and rebounders :shrug: Are you telling me that Russell's ball handling and court vision would be relevant against today's athletes in the NBA?

Where there is no hand checking and touch fouls called constantly? This NBA is weak and watered down as shit. As great as LeBron would have been in all eras, his ass would never go through the lane like he does present day. Someone would gave him about 20 broken noses by now. You cant compare todays basketball to even the 90's much less the 60's.

Great players would be great if they had the benefits of the era. Wallace was never great.
