Bol was an absolutely amazing physical specimen. He was a dominant 7'7" center in the middle of the lane to the which as we've never seen anyone of that size before or after him that could move like he could. Easily the greatest shot blocker/off the ball defender of all time.

Didn't get the chance to watch either of them play... but if Bol's defense was on par with Russel's, you'd think he'd be talked about more.
