To the guy saying Bill Russell hands down because he has 11 rings. He also had a very great team. His offense was decent, but no where near Kareem, Hakeem, or Wilt.
He's a notch below those 3 guys if you want to compare them individually. Russell had great defense but Wilt did better as an individual when they played each other, Russell won more, but he had a much better team. Wilt was the team.
They played vs each other 142 times in 10 years. Wilt avg'd 28.7 points and oddly 28.7 boards per game in those games. Wilt scored 50 or more 7 times vs Russell. Russell's totals against Wilt were 14.5 points and 23.7 rebounds per game.
