Mr. Russell just comes across as a gracious, humble, wonderful human being
He was tougher when he was younger, but he aged very gracefully.
ResT in Peace Legend'
Not only a great player but also a class act
Bill Russell the all around greatest Basketball winner bar none. On top of that he was brilliant, funny, knowledgeable, and so much more. This was a great interview.
You got to just love Bill Russell's laugh. It's so genuine. 👍🏻
Bill Russell is my #.1 player since I was 16 watching him play and the Boston Celtics my favorite team.
Eleven championship rings. ELEVEN!!!
Look at players in terms and of all the things they did to give their team an edge. Russell’s rebounding, but not just that alone; it was also his quick outlet pass to start the scoring machine called the fast break. It was his shot-blocking; but blocking it inbounds, often to a teammate. Add Russell owning the paint, his uncommon leadership …. Lots of ways he gave his team an edge. No one who ever played the game did all the things Russell did. He was the very best at making defense the key to offense.
Re: Bill Russell’s stats. Blocks weren’t even recorded back in his day. But someone should try this : Count ever one of his rebound outlet passes that led to a Celtics score as half an assist; count every defensive block to a teammate that led to a Celtics score as half an assist. Then see what his assist numbers look like.
Best laugh ever! A beautiful man!
Bill Russell is on my phone wallpaper
we all know the Boston Celtics won a LOT of championships but they had never won one until Russell showed up in '57 (hired at the end of the Season) in '58 they won their first and then a record 8 STRAIGHT NBA championships, the 9th year he sat out injured and loss the championship, when he returned the following year he'd win another 3 straight for a record 11 rings. If THAT isn't dominance and G.O.A.T. status I don't know what is.
And he player-coached the last two years.
H😂is bye far The Goat.
Russell won the first year in the NBA. Second year the Celtics made it to the final. Russell had a broken bone in his foot and played below par a couple of games. St Louis won. Then 8 in a row. In *67 they lost to Wilt*s Philly team. Two more championships and out. I was there and remember it all.
Thank you sir for this great video. In my opinion, Bill Russell is a genius because he accomplished a lot of things both on the basketball court and in society. I think he will be remembered by many people, both basketball fans and those people he helped to be happy, to have equal opportunities and to live in peace.
Yea with like only 11 teams😂
@juanmolina5102 always a hater out there, peeking his face out the basement door. Regardless, he still played the same amount of games during that time, even if there would have been 30 teams: same 82 game schedule.
I like Bill Russel!
If I had to start a team tomorrow, I would start with Bill Russell.
I’d take Bird and hope he’s there later
I couldn’t argue over Bill Russel or Larry Bird
Great interview! Thanks!
GREAT VIDEO SIR!
The best pitchers don't always have the best fastballs. But they have control, and several good pitches. It's the ability to consistently switch back and forth between pitches to get guys out. People understand this. But they don't always understand it in other sports. When you can switch strategies, micro-strategies or macro-strategies....that's when you're at your most dangerous. That's when your weapons become even more deadly. The greats in all sports...footbal, tennis, basketball, etc. They get it. And Bill and the Celtics were the best of their time at doing it.
Another nice video
Wilt
W 🏀 I 🏀 L 🏀 T
...is the 🐐, it's NOT even close❗️❓️
He is not pretentious to claim the #1 position. He had the game to back it up. If he were in his prime today, he would be as dominant.
Excellent video Galaxy. Bill Russell one of the greats and by far greater than Michael Jordan.
Nice opinion.
@@garyblubaugh2517 It's not an opinion it's a fact.
You are right Bill is greater than Michael Jordan while Michael Jordan is far far greater and more awesome than Lebron James. In total, Russel is the GOAT and in the last 50 years, Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Period
@@jabackyardadventures opinion unless you can provide point on point facts my friend.
Like 3 franchises have been able to win 3 or more in a row.
Celtics in the 60s with fewer playoff rounds as well as teams. B Russell as the widely accepted top piece.
Bulls did it 2X with MJ being the key player
Lakers with prime Shaq and young Kobe.
Kobe then almost pulls another 3 peat losing in finals to Boston before going B2B.
So we Basically have 3 greats to choose from now on individual basis as we determined they were all impacted winners. B Russell, MJ, Kobe.
Based on individual stats and awards/accomplishments in the NBA they rank:
1 MJ
14X AS, 10X SCORING CHAMP, (7 straight), 3X Steal Champ, 6X NBA Champ, 11X All NBA, 84-85 ALL Rookie, 84-85 ROY, 9X ALL DEF, 3X AS MVP, 87-88 DPOY, 5X MVP, 6X FMVP, 75th Anniversary Team
2 Kobe
18X AS, 2X Scoring Champ, 5x NBA Champ, 15X ALL NBA, 96-97 ALL-Rookie, 12X ALL DEF, 4X ASMVP, 1X MVP, 2X FMVP, 75TH ANNIVERSARY TEAM
3 B Russell
12X AS, 4X TRB CHAMP, 11X NBA CHAMP, 11X ALL NBA, 5X MVP, 1X ASMVP, 1X ALL DEF, 75TH ANNIVERSARY TEAM. Would definitely have more all def if was before 69 as well. Wasn't best player after Wilt entered league.
There are some facts to prove he wasn't the best individual player unfortunately it was MJ over him. Best individual by far would be Wilt. MJ in modern era.
@@Wargee4978 lol Bill was best team player bar none. Individual player top 75 no doubt. Wilt best individual player ever, MJ in modern era
I wish players today thought like this. Money many and money is what they are dedicated to. At the expense of whoever…
I'd pick Russell number one because he was great athlete and a team player...a team player.
👏🏾💯
WILT !!!!
Wilt was more talented -- there's never been anyone like him -- but Bill was the better player. He was all about winning.
Russell had better coaching and better team mates which is why he won more. Who broke that streak of 8 championships? Chamberlain and the Philadelphia 76'ers when Wilt actually had a team and good coaching.
I don't believe Russell' was the better player, but greatest winner for sure. With better coaching and better players. Greatest player is WILT for sure.
"former nba all star" the biggest underwhelming byline ever
Try: “Bill Russell’s View on the Best NBA Player Ever.”
Bill Russell was a great basketball player,but he was a lot more than that.
👍👍💯
Bill is count the ringd
Charlie tried to get Russell to laugh at Walton with him, but Russell wouldn't go there with him. Integrity.
Here is a little t** bit 9 players from that Boston Celtic team ended up as hall of famers.
Top candidate for GOAT.
Eleven rings.... Enough said.
Against a bunch of 6 foot tall white plumbers, Not even close to the best player of all time, Look up Wilt Chamberlain records, Championships Don't make the best player, Robert Horry has 7 rings lol
I was a Bill Russell fan from his college days in San Francisco through his Celtic career. Next to Bird he was always my favorite player. Sadly I met him at a charity golf tournament and, even though I told him I was a life long fan, he was rude and unfriendly. He later stiffed the tourney by running off rather than appear on the banquet dais.
How come I never see highlights of Russell?
It's easy to say we could play any way we want with 8 or more allstars. I've just never agreed he was better or smarter Wilt. The one yr Wilt had an equal team he beat him 4 to 1 yes Wilt had good players on other teams but most of the time they were young or old.
Bill Russell is the GOAT! Eleven NBA Championship rings, 2 as player/coach, in only thirteen seasons, 5-time MVP and 12 times All-Star, 2 NCAA Championships and won a Gold Medal in the 1956 Olympics.
You forgot two High School Championships with McClymonds HS. I have Wilt and Bill tied for #1. This is after having Wilt GOAT for 60 years…
While I do agree that BOTH Wilt & Bill are 2 of the Greatest . . . .
My Top 5
C -- Wilt
PF -- Bill Russell
SF -- Larry Bird
SG -- Oscar Robertson
PG -- Magic Johnson
But I say that Larry ""Legend""
is The NBA G.O.A.T.
And Wilt, Bill, & Larry . . . . . .
are Thee ONLY Players to ever Win 3 straight Season MVPs
Win
I have to give the nod to Wilt. In his own admission Bill said they would win because "they were going to run". It wasn't just Bill. He was the final piece of a great team. He would never have beaten Wilt without his team. While Wilt outplayed Bill in most categories, Bill's team outplayed their counterparts. They were both team players. Bill just happened to be on the better team. He wasn't the better player.
@@kenstar3692 What stopped Wilt's teams from running? It wasn't a secret, Red made the Celtics wear black shoes, instead of white, because it made them appear to run slower. Bill Russell was the "Center" piece of his teams, not the final, and they were great teams because of the way Russell (5 MVP's) played and his leadership. Wilt (4 MVP's) played with equally great, if not better players in his day, but his game was centered on scoring, rebounding and personal stats; more of an individual style, than Bill's team oriented play.
"I don't want to rap Wilt because I believe only Russell was better, and I really respect what Wilt did. But I have to say he wouldn't adjust to you, you had to adjust to him." ....Jerry West. Actually Wilt didn't outplay Bill in most categories, especially the ring category. Russell: 84-58 in OVERALL matchups. Record in NBA and Conference finals: Russell 90-53 Chamberlain: 48-44, that's barely .500. Record in the Decisive Game Seven Games: Russell 10-0 Chamberlain 4-5, less than .500. Statistically, Wilt was the greatest offensive beast to ever play the game, but like Russell said; players get paid to win, not play.
Wilt was a great player and man, but as a lifelong Celts fan, I'll take Bill Russell's 11 championships over Chamberlin's 2 any day. Russell's winning record and accomplishments from high school thru the pros, taken in toto, far exceeds any other athlete's in any sport and will probably never be overtaken. I respect your choice in Chamberlin, he was certainly a fantastic player and one of the very best, but in my mind he's second best to Bill.
@@meissner14 I respect your opinion as well. I think Bill was the best champion ever. However all of the categories you say Bill was better had to do with his team. Wilt outscored, out rebounded, out blocked, and out assisted Bill in pretty much every match up. If that is the case, Bill's team always outplayed Wilt's team. If you switched their teams I still think Bill would have won more than Wilt. I think that's because he wasn't as good as Wilt. He fit better because he had just enough to fit into the equation while Wilt simply had too much. Again that my humble opinion. Either way they're my top two as well and they earned it the hard way. They weren't cheated for, but against. Unlike a few on that top 10 list.
The person who wrote the closed captions didn't understand what Russ was saying at all.
Ooh I love that his sense of social justice was as big as his basketball ability. You just have to admire that as it isn't exactly Allowed in today's NBA. Look at what happens when you step out of line now. IE Kyrie.
❤️ the thing about finding out early most ppl are dishonest thing too. Well💔 but...
I think it is fair to name an all star team from each decade so that different eras are not compared. Naming all time players never comes out right.
ruclips.net/video/v8e_Hhs8EUE/видео.html
His teams were the best teams. No one wins on their own. Same with Jordan.
There’s a reason Boston won eight straight titles…….bill Russell!
always loved his laugh pick it out in a crowd
11 rings, 0 FMVPS 😂
The award didn't start til his last season.
Russell 11-12 91% 0 fmvps
1969 lost finals mvp to Jerry West who was on the losing team.
Terrible free throws
Average at best offensively
MJ 6-6 100% FINALS 6-6 100% FMVPS
No weaknesses
Highest ppg 33.6 in the NBA FINALS ever,
against the very best
But couldn’t beat a crippled Larry Bird!!! 0 and 6! Goat my ass
If the centers from 1965 -1975 played in JORDAN ERA HE WOULD NOT SCORED AS MUCH. THE CENTERS OF THAT ERA WERE BETTER ATHLETE ,AND GREATER DEFENDERS.FACTS.
@@cecildison6788 Russell had 5 HOF on his team, bird had 5 HOF on his team, how many did mj have those years? Thats what I thought thanks 👍
MJ totally overrated… Y’all just look at videos.
@@sonnyblack7226 Russell had more than 5 HOF on his teams, but that's besides the point. Russell was on the greatest team of all time, Wilt Chamberlain is the Greatest player of all time, if you don't believe it, check the Record books.
Guys I know we all love and enjoy this channel, but we're not supporting the channel by a simple likes and sharing with fellows.
Do a little research most of bill Russell's ring were won when theres was only 8 teams in the league. He gets alota goat talk. I dont think it's deserved. Because of the lack of competition he played against. The nba before the 70s wasnt much to talk about.
Would you like to go on my progarm and go over what you wrote?
Russell couldn't score. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Kareem were better. I would even put Magic and Steph Curry ahead of Russell. Lebron and Russell are about equal, and a notch above Wilt.
W 🏀 I 🏀 L 🏀 T
...is the 🐐, it's NOT even close. Do some homework & drop the juvenille bias. 📚
Steph Curry doesn't even belong in the same sentence
Russell could score, he did it in college. But he was a better defender. He was College player of the year twice.
@@StevenC32
AND❓️...other than all the championships the Celtic Dynasty won. Let Wilt swap places & they'd still be winning em.
@@loilt5091 I don't know about that, because Wilt spent 5 years on the Lakers surrounded by HOF talent such as Jerry West and Elgin Baylor but was only able to win 1 championship with the Lakers. People think you can just plug and play players from one team to another and that you automatically win, that is not always the case. There is such a thing as team chemistry. Bill Russell was like a coach on the floor, and he even was the player coach for 2 of their 11 championships.
