Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Bob Pettit, Bob Lanier, Willis Reed, Walt Bellamy, Oscar Robertson, Hal Greer, Jerry Lucas, Lenny Wilkens, Jack Twyman, Nate Thurmond, and Dave Debusschere all say "Hi"

most them folks aint big men
I'm not saying Bill is overrated or not but...
I'm gonna just throw this out there. When Russell was at his peak weren't there only like 3 or 4 dudes in the league that were his size or taller? The dudes claiming he had a huge advantage in the paint aren't necessarily lying.

like I said before, Zach lavine would be considered a goat dunker if he had any type of flavor. instead he comes off as a dork. an arrogant dork at that - which is frustrating, cuz that feeling of arrogance he gives off, should translate into some sort of swag, right??
aaron Gordon is another great. their dual was better than Dominique/Jordan.
but its forgotten because they weren't stars, at least not yet. and im not holding that against them, but they could've somewhat made up for it with a lil bit of charisma.

mj is the ultimate example
his dunks were basic but made classic by body.language
the run up to the rim the motion through the air all add a cinematic quality
i see it in the og's or another example skip.to.my.lou watch the skip.tape & see how bro would add in a lil pause or high step or exaggerate certain movements a extra high dribble or a extra low dribble cross you over in slow motion etcetera etcetera
the way cats used to scoop the ball on reverses & layups original.jelayyyyyy
99.9% of cats play like robots no style no flair no swagg

To be fair a prime Joakim Noah with more athleticism is not a bad comp, nikkas forget Noah was a high iq player and the Bulls defensive anchor + playmaker before Thibs ran him into the ground

not a knock on noah, but that comparison is an insult to Russell.
that's like saying a prime kyle singler with more athleticism is larry bird.

hes not as athletic as chamberlain & Russell were.
he cant do half of what they did on the court.
and off the court, they were also track & field stars. meanwhile, deandre Jordan looks like he would trip over his own feet if you put him on the track.
he won't have the same athleticism if he was born sooner breh.training, food, shoes, competition, and so on
