some say bill Russell is the best, please tell me why. to me he's not even close to the best........ yes he's a champion but so are all the other Celtics, getting rings comes from team effort. period........ fuck what anyone say's, bill has 11, but he also had an entire fucking Olympic team. Come on. a true champion is a player who can get rings with the least amount of star players on there team. bill russell was a great player but he was surrounded by great players,and a fantastic coach
@seanyj04 That's why the Celtics won 2 NBA championships with Russell the PLAYER COACH in 1967,1968 and 1969 AFTER RED AUERBACH RETIRED FROM COACHING in1966...
@geocgeo of course they would... its pure logic, If you get coached by someone surely after a while you'll be able to do there job for them... look at kobe, just because you see how coach does it, you can put your own input into it from the players prospective... get of Bills dick he's not the best. He's just a now a day average black nba player who played against all white boys. Please credit most of his rings to that... Put defenders of now and jordans era and see what he does.
@seanyj04 The Celtics never won a ring until Russ was a Celtic. People say as a player he was the biggest WINNER.Russ at USF they won the national championship in his junior and senior seasons. Russ at center in the Olympics the USA won the gold. Russ as Celtics center they won 11 NBA championships in his 13 years as a Celtics player and 2 of those rings he won he was he was player-coach. The celtics were "TOO OLD" they said in 1969 but they finished 48-34 and still beat L.A. in the finals.
