    How did the Spurs manage to win 4 championships with two of the top 4 most overrated players of all-time?

    ^Daddy (your hero since Kobe ran him off) said one of those Championships should have an asterisk applied to it.

    That in' Duncan (pre bag) fell into your laps,,,then Manu (pre compost pile) chilled his blood across several April-June temporals & Pop (pre scared less) coached like somebody.

    It happened.

    Any top 5 list without Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, The Logo or Patrick Ewing on it is laughable.

    Oh...

    And if there was a tournament for money... where people got to draft all the NBA greats in their prime to play against each other on teams... do you think this guy would be in the top 300 picks?



    Didn't think so...

    Timmay
    Larry
    MJ
    Magic

    I don't get why the NBA is the only sport where people compare players from the 50's/60's and talk about how "overrated" they are compared to today's athletes. I don't see anyone saying Johnny Unitas was overrated because his career completion percentage is 55%, or that Ted Williams would never have won the Triple Crown with the strategic advancements the game has made towards pitching.

    Because
    a) Baseball is an individual sport, and also is a sport with elitist fans...
    b) Football is a contact sport, and the general perception is that while men had less physical advantages in terms of medicine and training, they were from a 'tougher gritty-er era'.
    c) Basketball is a non-contact sport, that has always placed emphasis on height over speed and/or skill...

    Depends on what you are talking about... are you evaluating skill... or numbers vs compe ion during their time...

    If you are arguing numbers vs compe ion at their time... Russell is an obvious choice... but if you say to me... Russell was one of the top 5 best players to ever live... that isn't a true statement...

    He is an "all time great" but he isn't one of the best players ever.

    This confusion of the former with the latter is what makes him THE most overrated player of all time.

    A modern PF aveages around 6'8"? Really? That's it? I can think of guys like Nowitzki and Garnett, who are 7', but I can't really think of too many 6'6" PFs to balance it out.

    Without a doubt russel is the most overrated player of all time, some people have him 2nd greatest after jordan. Seriously? Dude was 6'9 playing against 6'0 honkies(he was a giant, I know), with no free agency, on stacked teams, in a 8 team league. Anyone actually think he'd get anywhere near to 11 championships today, as he did in the 50's? I'd say he'd be lucky to win one, considering he was a glorified role player/garbage man, with no offencive game and basically, strictly relying on his athletisism, in a honkey dominated league. We already had a bill russel in our era, his name is Ben Wallace.

    d) Hockey is an entertaining sport, they'd have a brawl going on there every now and then thats the only reason for me to even watch their games, and the fights are real unlike WWE
