Seriously! With all due respect to Rick Barry, Bean is the best 24 that ever played. It just so happens he's the best 8 too.
number 8 is just a side kick with very little individual accolades, no MVPs no Finals MVPs, Not even a Rookie of the Year Trophy. shyt Mike Miller got one of those :heh:. Just Rape Charges and Shaq Diss Records. (Plat Rapper and GOAT Laker of the 2000s)

Kobe 24 >>>>>> Kobe 8
Batman >>>>>> Nightwing (He was better than Robin but still not Batman :troll:)

Was about to post this. And I fukking hate LBJ

Nope. Russell is the greatest champion in NBA history.

11 rings in 13 seasons. 5 MVPs. Best defensive player in league history. Focal point of the greatest franchise in league history. Finals MVP trophy named after him.

Russell's resumé shyts on LeBron's.

1. His resume is overvalued because of the era and he played with 6 hof

2. No one would draft prime Russell over prime lbj. They may just say they would to be nice

3. He is obviously a great defensive player but I wouldn't put him ahead of Olajuwon Duncan Jordan and pippen

1. Fact: Russell played in a much more competitive and physical era than today's. This is supported by the fact that the league in that era had the highest concentration of HOF players out of any era of the NBA.

2. Russell Made His teammates HOFers, not the other way around. The Celtics never won prior to his rookie year and they missed the playoffs the season after he retired.

3. Phil Jackson said he'd choose Russell over Jordan to build a team around. You think he'd choose Bron over Russell? People would rather build teams around Ant Davis and Durant than Bron.

4. Russell's defense > anybody else's. Dude practically created blocked shots. He was the defensive anchor of the greatest dynasty in league history. He is the best one-on-one and help defender of all time.
