Baylor didn't play one minute in that finals and you know it so you blow it off with "doesn't matter" that's like saying Nomar deserves a ring for the 2004 red sox world series - no he doesn't. he has one but didn't earn it.if you put Russell on a team with West they'd have won a lot more than 0 titles
and again, was the 5th leading scorer on a championship team...never cracked the 20 ppg game mark. he's somewhere in between kareem and horry.

Defense wins championships my friend. And Russell was one of the best, if not the best, defensive centers in history. He always had hall of famers around him, but he's wars with Wilt justified him being in the conversation. If you rank players on offense only, then yes, Russell ain't even top 20 all time. But the complete player, defense, offense, rebounds, guarding better players, will to win, Basketball IQ. You don't get any better than Russell, and the rings speak for themselves.

BRUCE BOWEN THE GOATlook, i know he was a great defender...but to be in GOAT discussion, u have to do it at both ends. Russell never cracking the 20 ppg mark easily removes him from that discussion. like i said, he's somewhere between kareem and horry.
