Bill Russell's hang time

like that?

Bill Russell: Skills and Rivals - YouTube

I like how he can confidently talk about his abilities and not give off a single ounce of arrogance about it.

anyone able to explain to me how they showed the clip and if/what the crews reaction to it was?

Kenny broke it down and was laughing how he jumped over a guy, and then went on to say that Bill would be just as great today as he was in his day because he'd have access to all the training methods from today. Basically what makes players great transcends their eras. He also said Bill jumped over the dude without ever doing squats

how fast he was

This is not fair. Dude was a beast. There is no doubt he would have been dominant in any era. We are not even factoring in his defense, passing skills, competitive drive, and leadership.

Take note at 0:22... Russell Iso's at the FT line, drives left and comes in on the right side for a right handed dunk... he's a left hander. He shot with both hands up to 18 feet out too. Also got footage where he dribbles the length of the court with both hands too

I knew a dude when I was a kid that shot jumpshots with either hand. Dude played college ball too. Don't remember his name...All I know is that he made crazy bread without having to play bball. Your brain has to be almost gawd level to have motor skills on that level

wait a minute I mean hook shots fellas - he shot hook shots with both hands out to 18 feet - sorry for the confusion lol my bad

He did have a jumper, but I haven't looked at all his jumpers with a fine toothed comb yet so I don't know if he shot those with two hands or not. His skillset is nicely balanced though on offense, something nobody would predict if they just look at his stats

Breh...its crazy. Motor skills on both sides of your brain is almost gawd status...no lie. It probably explains his ability to process the movement/tendencies of multiple player on the court and predict plays on both sides of the floor before they happen. Bill Russell was the human version of a cheat code. 11 tittles in 12 years....it all makes sense now

I think I posted this footage here once before but here's some clips from a 1966 Royals vs Celtics game, which has some Russell footage in it
