NIK's dumbest statement during these playoffs??

[Hack Wilson - real]

1 saying that Elgin Baylor (0 for 8 in the NBA finals) and Jerry West (1 for 8 ) are better than 11 time champ Bill Russell



2-Saying Lebron is still over rated despite winning 2 games over the west's Warriors without Irving, Love and Varrijao and setting all kinds of NBA finals scoring recods





both are awfully stupid statements that both deserve equal laughing at  - similar to how when Lebron passed Kobe's "non PG assist" stats how those #'s no longer mattere 

[Sccit]

u must be hella mad right now that your team aka lebron lost another finals (his 4th lost nba finals lmfao)..........that's 2/6 in the finals rofl..............and on ANOTHER sub-40% shooting night for your king.....................on SINGLE COVERAGE AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


BTW elglin baylor won a ring in 72

[Hack Wilson - real]

how many minutes did ELGIN play? 

[Sccit]

WHAT DO IT MATTER? RUSSELL WAS THE 5TH LEADING SCORER ON A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM LMAO. U PUT ELGIN INSTEAD OF RUSSELL ON THOSE CELTIC TEAMS, AND THEY WIN 15 STRAIGHT.

[Hack Wilson - real]

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 

[Sccit]

RUSSELLS HALL OF FAME CAST WAS BETTER THAN JUST WEST

[Hack Wilson - real]

so we're pretending Gail Goodrich is jag status now?

Baylor did play on the 1972 team, he retired mid-season because of career ending injures, and did get a ring. Most players like him would get a ring. So saying Baylor doesn't have a ring is just wrong.

Also, only because of 1969, I'd say Russell is the best, but you have to look at teammates. The Celtics had hall of fame players coming off their bench. They had a roster 6-7 deep some years with hall of famers. West and Baylor were great, and in his prime Baylor might have been better than Russell as a player. But we'll never know because Baylor just didn't have the talent around him. It's all about teams. I give Russell credit because he battled Wilt every year, and beat him every year. Including when Wilt joined the Lakers and have Baylor and West with him. I think that's the justification for the praise Russell gets. He's the David that beat Goliath each and every year.

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 GOAT





look, 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.

Also impact, importance, and being a starter for a winning team, and defending someone like Wilt, and coaching a team that you are playing for,.

Also, let's get some things very clear. Before Russell, the Celtics still had hall of fame players like Cousy, Sharman and others. Guess how many times they made the finals? None. After Russell retired, they still had hall of famers like John Havlicek, and returned 7 other players. In 1969-70, they didn't even finish with a winning record. Russell was very important to everything Boston did. He was the glue that held it all together.

RUSSELL AVERAGED 9 PPG ON A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM LMAO...GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD. AND HAVILCEK ACTUALLY DID WIN WITHOUT RUSSELL. HAVILCEK AVERAGED DOUBLE WHAT RUSSELL DID. HE'S THE GOAT WINNER, AND THAT'S IT.
