Russell calling Gervin "Ice."

Too bad Russell broke his foot in his sop re season.. would have had 10 consecutive NBA championships otherwise.

Thank you. What an incredible piece. I'm loving it.

Russell: They said Forward but I don't believe that. You're a Center.

**silverblackfan** · 11-25-2009

Very nice. I have been really looking forward to seeing the whole meeting. A lot of respect shown by Duncan and two greats just enjoying some conversation about their passion and lessons on the court.

If it doesn't I'm sure it will be on the next Spurs Championship DVD!

So at the end of the interview do they play one on one?

Thank you again; Spursdotcom. The videos are too appetising for just a chunk of it every day.

Its great to see, the all time great Bill Russell discussing fundamentals with Mr. Fundamental. Its nice to see Duncan being paid homage to by a great by recourse to Duncan's own character - understated but basic.

"He never told me how to play and I never told him how to coach.." BR could have been describing Timmy and Pop.

**baseline bum** · 11-25-2009

Tim would kill Russell in one-on-one. Russell's like 103.

i wonder if all the other p/f C 'rs in the league are jealous or pissed off at this, because this just makes it undeniable that he is the best/one of the best all time.
people like kg, and gasol shoot even shaq

**Xevious** · 11-25-2009

Even Russell called Tim on the PF/C thing.

KG had an interview with Russell during the Celts championship season that got way more tv run than this one ever did/will. So I doubt there's any jealousy there.

I thought the KG interview was pretty corny..BR saying he'd lend one of his rings to KG if the Celts didn't win a championship.. I wonder how that would have worked out.. "hey guys, look at the Championship Ring BR lent me..."

and I didn't think KG merited being in the same video with the great BR. At least TD brings 4 rings to the table..

ps. there will be 9 parts in total.

Nice. Thanks! Russell's always been one of my favorites. TD seemed a little nervous at first, but loosened up as the conversation continued. Does TD have alergies? He looked to be almost squinting and a little glassy-eyed in the first clip.
