Bill Russell Has a Conversation With Dwight Howard

[lilboosiestraped187]

GO TO THE CELTICS DWIGHT!

[MrJaccfrost]

D12 gone sign with the Celtics in the off-season Celtics Hoo Rah!!!

[onyxfich]

@MrJaccfrost its over for celtics they have to make hall new team and start over

[lilboosiestraped187]

@MrJaccfrost I HOPE HE DO!

[franzpolak]

@stnd456 that's because i was being sarcastic.

[franzpolak]

yeah, howard and russ are very similar. russell never missed an opportunity to spike the ball into the stands when blocking, cared about his stats and place in history, disappeared in crunch time and mailed in seasons while dreaming about that big market contract.

similarities indeed.

[uberathlete]

Bill Russell : "That's very possible."

What he's really thinking : "LOL yeah right!"

[stevo23wow]

bill russel should be nighted by the queen....dammit he should

[yoe91]

@stevo23wow yeah, that way he would become a 'night' !

[BluEmAdneSS87]

if I was Bill Russel i would put my championship ring on every finger and show off in front off every one i NBA

[songwonlee1987]

@BluEmAdneSS87 man cant you just tell by his videos that he aint like that?

[ChristopherPea]

@BluEmAdneSS87 he doesn't have anough fingers, haha :D

[localboi25]

i believe dwight will be in the hall of fame, top 10 if not top 15 best centers in the history of the game.... i mean hes a "true" center, one that rebounds, blocks shots, and dunks that ball hard! hes not one of those jump shooting types who arent as physical, those are more like PF's rather than centers

[lightsaw2]

@ihateyoujeroff nigger means arrogant, so coming here with your racism and not knowing what your talking about makes you white trash, and a nigger.

[mrthundaboots]

Bill was CUT back then!

[allu4me]

DHoward is getting there. He worked hard on his jumpshot and the fundamentals in the post. He'll probably never be as dominant as shaq so he needs that. I hope he wins that championship one day, I really do

[ihateyoujerkoff]

dwight howard cant read, so he got the picture book version. dumb niggers.

[hemelekkoff]

The talk about FINALS MVP

Dwight howard was thinking in that award and the tittle is the thing that you should have in your mind

[leandrong]

Bill looks taller than Dwight. But Bill is 6'9.5'' and Dwight is 6'11' :s

And I guess Bill is a little shorter now by his age and Dwight has baskerball shoes too...

[Estonskii]

he most get some free throws man .

he still needs alot work to do , luck !

[zuplado15]

how old is howard?

[mattc941]

he turned 16 this past May.

[garioldwin]

he is 32

[jingeshan24]

he is 23 you moron....

[garioldwin]

if you dont understand a joke dont comment you jackass.

[VFORVITIELLO]

you cant blame stan van gundy for dwight howard missing those two freethrows at the end of game 4

[tjmikelil9]

he just needs to developed a better post game and a shot.

[SweSide]

he will be back nxt year with a vengeance with mental teacher like russell he can learn more... but stan van gundy should be more stronger coach and learn from the mistake he made this finals... its him that should be blame for the lose and not the players

[Sidogg1]

haha pretty good body? i think thats an understatement bill... the guys a beast!

[Methadone4Life]

Good to see a young guy listen to a great vet. I am a Laker fan but have mad respect for Howard. If he improves on his back to the basket game...he will be scary. I think he has titles in his future.

[riyusVids69]

1:36 travel?

[nobo50]

no its not, the step you take when the ball just hits the floor doesnt count as one of your steps

[riyusVids69]

but look when he bounced the ball he was only on his pivot foot then when he steped the ball was mid way in the air so its a travel dude.

[ElLoca69]

this is sooo cute lol

im still in love dwight i dont get it he's the only guy i done seen that makes me of ALL PEOPLE GO

i want him...

which i NEVER say

[CDean30]

Bill Russel is like the YODA if basketball did u see him when he said "thats very possible, but its up to you" lol lol lol lol

[MrJDRecords]

@CDean30

tall yoda

[pongman]

Bill Russell is the Greatest. Thank you Mr. Russell for all those championships.

[kagegk]

Irony to the fullest...the Finals MVP Trophy is named after Bill Russell now, and if Kobe gets it - damn.

[phattown213]

i dont mean to be rascist but bill russell reminds me of uncle tom.

srry but i cant lie

[pongman]

Sorry but Bill is not an uncle tom and he never was and never will be. Check his history he was very radical in every stretch of the imagination. He turned down an offer to play for the Globetrotters because the owner Saperstein didn't talk to him. ,"The USF center was livid after this snub and declined the offer: he reasoned that if Saperstein was too smart to speak with him, then he was too smart to play for Saperstein. This was in 1956 way before the Civil Rights movement.

[jj200419]

what disturbs me more is that you cant spell racist...i just hope you dont use moziila or safari because you have no excuse...SPELL CHECK YO!

[phattown213]

what disturbs me the most is ur concern over random ppl's grammar on a youtube post....yo

[jj200419]

It just a pet peeve, just like people who put you're instead of your or say/put good instead of well...but thank you for your input it is so greatly appreciated good day YO!

[phattown213]

well here's anotha pet peeve for ya, you wrote It instead of It's. you couldve also written it is but of course i think u knew that. Next time practice what you preach or dont pre...ah nevermind

[TheCordlessOne]

U are pathetic, phattown.

[phattown213]

fuck you.

[ldc62]

this seems soo setup...

[ldc62]

Dwight needs to learn how to shoot free throws before he should even learn anything else.

[AtlantaGa24]

I saw this during halftime(halftime show) of game 4...GO LAKERS WIN GAME 5!!!!

[rome456456]

i felt awkward fir D'Howard

[icereignafrica]

yeah, they forced it down his throat. just like with kg last year.

btw, what's with the corny music? :/ FAIL

[Gemberland2004]

The 3 generations footage was hot

Russel Ewing Howard

[Reigns20]

i feel dat

[dudi1x1]

zsdg

[redtrain8]

how old is howard?

[vegastery]

is google or wikipiedia dead ?

[joshuadayn]

23 yrs old

[vatechisbeast]

23.

[bballplayerNBA]

Howards 23 years old

[aouani]

only 23.

[daredevil1983]

I love how Bill Russel always gives advices to teams against Lakers during the Finals( this year and last year). A big time Laker hater.

[vatechisbeast]

if you were a celtic all your career then you would be too.

[bballmasta223]

Lol yeah i just noticed that, cause wilt was on lakers

[lkada]

Bill Russell is one classy man

[phillyphan24]

wat collage and highschool did Dwight go to?

[commerceskate]

no college, came outta high school, dont know which one.

[joseefu]

Probably called saga high school since that what his jersey said on 0:55

[bgizzle904]

it was southwest christian academy high shool it said saca

[stupidnative]

Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy

[SVTFilms]

hes dead. hes a guy in the logo for the NBA.

[lazyla]

jerry west is the guy on the NBA logo.

[shnchikun]

In my opinion, dwight is the best big man in the league right now. there are too many great big men players like td, amare, kg, gasol, dirk, yao. but their strength is nothing compare to d12.

[CrazyzViet]

dwight has alot of power, more than other big men in the league but he doesn't have the skill they possess like pau, hes got a series of moves but dwight doesnt. he knows hes gatta work on the other parts of his game but right now dwight is not the 'best' big man, hes the most powerful

[commerceskate]

true true, i think in a 2 or 3 seasons he could be the best big man though.

[longlame]

in the beginning 11 seconds Bill Russel Sounds like a Yoda! LOL

[Dp3ch3Mod3UndrGround]

Is Bill Russel dying?

I mean, every finals tey have him talking to a player in the finals, trying to MOTIVATE them.

Last year, i understand cuse it was the celtics. But now its just..........weird.

[haiti954life]

hes not dieing... well he might be hes old... but hes not sick or anything... they just have him talking and mentoring the players because he won the most NBA titles of any nba player in history

[fadiran23]

Bill russel is the most humble guy. Its like he doesn't even know hes the best. wow 11 championships. i would be wearing them rings all the time. Bill russell= Best center to play the game.

[bballmasta223]

Yeah hes a great player but really, best? his ERA didn't have much good centers. If he versed some of these players he would come in top sometimes(in his prime) but i dont thnk hes the best

[Mok3sp33d]

Still can't downplay what he's accomplished.

[joseefu]

He doesn't have enough fingers to wear all of them hahaha

[papibien]

LMAO the first 11 seconds is so awkward!

[WWARBRSHOTS]

i got a question, does howard take striouds?it looks like it cuz he really buff

[JayTheSex]

Hopefully he'll be back to full strength next season. We can win the championship with him playing like that, imagine what we can do with him 100%. I have confidence that he'll play well next season, I'm just concerned about re signing Odom, Ariza and Brown

[Donkeyhawk]

Bill Russel is cool.

[popeaustini]

wow russell is dumb

[luisjayson]

yes true! I hope he (Bynum) master Kareem Abdul Jabbar Unstoppable Sky Hook becaus if he do...

[Ravanmixer]

Bill Russell positive man))

[CSLent]

I love bill russel he is SOOOO humble

[veggiedinner123]

Talk about modesty, and being humble lol, Dwight was practically bowing to Russel but he was having none of it, two great personalities and two great guys

[ejayarts]

my name is alex mercer

[xxbouncexx88]

Russell: One the most humblest people i've ever heard speak.

[xbballer5x]

Bynum is still young, hopefully in the coming years we will see a rivalry between Howard and Bynum. GO LAKERS NBA CHAMPS 2008-2009

[SeanieBoyzz]

howard is BUFF. LOL

[BtwImDrunk86]

Enjoyable to watch. You can just see how much Dwight Howard looks up to him. I hope they can still win.. But that's irrealistic. But it would be cool. o.O

[Procrastinationmaste]

orland tried to catch up to the celtics lol that's funny

[yardleyhbk]

this shit is gay, talk to jordan or something bill russell is a old fart , that shit dont count in the 1950's or 60's they play against of white boys that can't play ball

[xWiLSoNxx14]

At least those white boys can speak proper english, dumbass! -.-

[EuroFoxx]

Wow, that's not racist at all. Because someone speaks in a vernacular that doesn't adhere to Miss Manners' English 101 means they don't speak 'proper English'? I'm sorry, do you speak the same dialect the queen does? I don't think so, therefore you don't speak 'proper English.' I'm sure that those 'non white boys' would know to put a capital letter on English, unlike you. In such a culturally diverse world, it's sad to see people spouting this sort of racist garbage.

[AlexTGray]

I agree that what xxWiLsOnxx14 said was racist, but so was what yardleyhbk said. White Guys can play basketball, look at Nowitzki, Nash, Turkoglu, Kidd

[FreshKiNg27]

kidd is mixed btw

[EuroFoxx]

I didn't see what he was replying to, but yes,

xWiLSoNxx14 's comment is even more ignorant, and if he's of African American descent, it's even worse. The reverse racism is the worst of all because it's the minorities who should know what it feels like to be discriminated against. To treat someone else with that sort of disrespect is just reprehensible. Never mind the disrespect he shows for someone who pioneered in the game at a time when blacks were still treated like slaves. Disgusting.

[EuroFoxx]

**Sorry, meant yardleyhbk on that last one, not xWiLSoNxx14.

[brilliantmynd]

Turkoglu isn't necessarily white, he is middle eastern (turkish).

[garioldwin]

he is white,i never heard for a turkish or middle eastern race.

[shaureb1]

lmao dude, nowitzki and turkoglu arent white. just cus ur not black doesnt mean you white. nowitzki is from germany and hedo is from turkey

[timmah583]

fucking idiot. just because they're from turkey and germany doesn't mean they're not white

[Mok3sp33d]

Yea he only had to play against Wilt too. You know that's totally an easy job....

[shaureb1]

wooooow. so wilt was a white boy who cant play ball? bill russell is the best defender in the history of the game. 11 fucking championships. Jordan is clearley better but have some fucking respect you peice of trash

[beckytiq]

bill shoulda taught howard how to shoot freethrows. all he had to do was make one at the end of the fourth, and it woulda been orlando's game

[FreshKiNg27]

lol i know

[atomicpuma777]

The Legend.....Bill Russell

[JayTheSex]

He should be talking to Bynum... Bynum needs the help atm

[linkinpain]

amen to that.. bynum is probably one of the worst centers in the league and the lakers need to focus on him during the break =/

[aznbrilliantman]

How is Bynum bad? He was playing excellent ball before he was injured. He even had a career high 40 points. The only reason he's playing bad is because of the injury. He's not ready yet.

[juniorthug1]

tell him to work on his free throws and by the way get ready to give the finals mvp honor to a laker called kobe!! haha lakers in 6.

[hitmancoolio]

The guy's amazing, so wise.

[capostatus00]

lol tell me bout it

[CWei917]

come on orlando if u work hard u guys will get back into game 7...........

[APRBaller]

we're gonna have to belive in ourselves if we're going take them to 7 games and start playing smart. hopefully we can do it.

[CWei917]

yea....i agree...GO MAGIC!!!

[BobbyHung]

maybe next year, brah.

[guilty972]

God he's the wisest basketball player on Earth!

[EGarrett01]

Russell is and was extraordinarily intelligent.

[TypeDoubleR]

me...

[capostatus00]

y is he always talkn to the big men they play agsinst the lakers in the finals is he still envy of the lakers lol

[EGarrett01]

His whole life has been about stopping the Lakers.

[ultimatedbzmasta]

and now the lakers get his trophy

[Silvoleon]

Howard is a nice guy, but I still want Lakers to win.

[deathstick16]

howard's mentor is ewing.

[miXn]

"Thank you .. I appreciate it .. I appreciate."

"Don't thank me man."

"WUAAA NAAAT?"

that was fucking hilarious.

[chrissalvador]

BILL RUSSELL IS FREAKING LIKE YODA, AND HOWARD IS A YOUNG JEDI, Homie, you gotta just sit back and listen haha

LAKERS BABY!!! 09'

After we win Shaq can come back and win a 5th ring and Mentor Bynum and if not go to Magic's where he started as a rookie and try to win a Ring and Mentor Howard!

[DiverseLA]

Bynum's mentor is Kareem.

[TypeDoubleR]

lakers suck

MAGIC in 7!!!!!!

[BCS221]

i wish

[BobbyHung]

Bill Rusell is so wise, i would sit there and shut up and listen to that man like he was Moses on Mt Sinai with the Ten commandments fo sho.

[TypeDoubleR]

you gotta listen to your mother

[bestkepthotshot]

if bill russell talks to you,,,LISTEN..

[deathstick16]

go get more advice from russell and not shaq!

shaq is so full of himself these days.

afraid that his legacy as "superman" will be eclipsed by Howard.

[csikkmusic]

Bill is a nice guy, but he's kind of weird... He stares into people's eyes really long after he makes a statement. lol

[Povilas7]

WTF are you talking about. When he looks in your eyes he tries to have more then just a conversation.

[csikkmusic]

I'll just leave what I said open to interpretation. lol! Different people see it different ways.

[justreg5]

if i was a pro b ball playa this would be the person i would love to sit in a room and listen 2

[bigz008]

Bill Russel has a conversation wid everyone, if its not Garnett its Howard..

[jacobi8]

he won 11 nba titles, if u were a big man wouldnt u talk to him?

[bigz008]

he'd probably want to talk to me even if i didnt want to

[EvanConover]

From the old footage of Russell, I could see he had quite a similar body build that Howard has right now. That's what reminded me that Dwight is a genuine center, much like the ones in the days of Russell. Those seem hard to come by these days.

[THAHITMAN509]

Dwight Howard is a cool player, he's one of those players that a fan could be able to talk too unlike those other fuckers that only care about winning. ;0

[bi99mike]

love russell, man.. he's a legend

[bvh101]

bill russel what an animal!

[carlawon]

bill russell is always kissing ass with who ever is playing the lakers.. since he is a celtic... he wants the lakers to lose... lakers 09!!!

he is a legend btw...great guy

[wavyrob19]

WTF is wrong with you?? Thats Bill Russell you dont even talk bad about a guy who won all those champs.

[cte0305]

This happened before the playoffs.

[sonofmanchu]

Well, it is not like you have to forget basketball for a month.

But taking some time off is very important. Resting at least for a week and than start practice at a medium temple such as doing some drill and work on the foot walk. Practicing jump shoot at least 100 shoots a day. After practice, don't forget to ice your knees! ( 2 times icing minimum a day). Lastly, have a good meal and go to sleep. If you need to have sex, go for it!

[Bored00m]

Bill Russell should of said "your bitch ass needs to learn how to shoot free throws."

[garmool]

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKK­KERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSS!!!!! OOOOOHHH YEAHHH BABY!!! Celtics+Howard+everyone else not rooting for lakers= OWNED!!! FUK YEAH!

[supARGH]

Nice to see good maturity from the West.

[garmool]

Hahaaaaaaaa!!!!! jealous fuk. LAKERS BABY!!

[Reynaga12345]

Bill Russel was a BEAST!!!

[haloMaiiFranchise]

dwight was skinny in high school

[writofmandamus]

lol he was just ignoring him at the end

[Koraspol]

damn:/

[funkyskateboardp]

bill rusel is a legend

[p3pt0b1sm01]

I gotta give it up for the Magic.

They beat the defending champs:

1:Ray Allen

2:Paul Pierce

3:Rajon Rondo

and the MVP:

4:LeBron James

Too bad they can't add Kobe Bryant's name to that amazing list.

GO LAKERS!

[writofmandamus]

who does bill think he is, morgan freeman from Bruce Almighty?

[p3pt0b1sm01]

lol! well he is an 11x time champ!

[kinetsuhayabusa313rd]

fuck you

[fernandobkt91]

por ganar 11 anillos de campionato y ser una de las leyendas del baloncesto internacional. creo que se puede dar el derecho de decir quien QUiera ser.

[louiejack6]

He's gotta learn to not miss 2 free throws to put away the game in game 4 of the NBA finals.

[Dai1lest]

listen to him dwight give the body a rest!!

[ANewBosnianKing]

man they dont give Howard the ball enough.

[ArkansasShawT]

Dwight is soooooo cute!

[GevorkGAkopyan]

You think he's fine?

[Joethegiantkilla]

at 9 secs, u could tell Bill wanted to spit in that scrubs face. The nerve of ho ass Dwight thinking he can be that great. Im a Laker fan by default cuz the Cavs are out. So now i want Dwight to fail in the hardest way....at home while the Lakers celebrate in his face.

[arkantos980]

It's called self-confidence...and it's his dream to be the greatest just like everyone else

[Greyfox624]

Orlando!!!!

Howard > Bryant

[TheKb24Balla]

THEY JUST LOST BUDDY

[Greyfox624]

dont remind me :\

[Joethegiantkilla]

I aint even a laker fan but i root for them cuz the Magic took away my dream of LeBron in the finals. But see Gasol embarrass the Magic at the end almost converted me.

[Jayisawesome9734]

14th

[brucedao]

0:21 Bill Russell looks so beastly! probably cuz of the jerseys and the short shorts
