Bill Russell: I lost track of how many championships I won

It might seem strange but I did not know our Celtic teams won eight championships in a row until about 20 years ago when I read about it in a game program. Our focus was always on that particular season, always one year at a time. The year we played had nothing to do with the previous year or the next year. That's just the way it was.

I know how he feels; I've lost track of how many times I've jacked it today. Greatness manifests itself in many ways.

No disrespect to Russel but if he played in the nba today he wouldnt have nearly as many titles, especially 8 in a row.
That's basically impossible for a modern NBA team to do.
For that reason alone teams like Shaq's LAkers, Jordans Bulls and Duncans Spurs are all far more impressive dynastys imo.

sorry but any time someone makes such a statement of comparison it IS a sign of disrespect. a champion is a champion. all champs of all eras share the same champion dna.
i wonder why only champions understand what other champions have done. oh wait i know, because they know what it takes.

If it wasnt for Bill Russel, NBA wouldnt probably be this big and Lebron probably wouldnt be born or atleast he wont be playing basketball...
You have to compare in context..... in 100 years time when some elite humans can grow to 8 feet and move like guards and score 50ppg, would that disregard everything happening NOW?

The game evolves, if you put Lebron or KD back then they wouldn't have as much basketball knowledge and who knows how good they will be.
Present greats learn from past greats, thus the sport grows.

Just saying winning 8 in a row now adays and any time in the future is basically IMPOSSIBLE.

Russell is the GOAT. LaFonda isn't as good or as accomplished as Russell, Wilt, Kareem, Magic, Bird, MJ, Duncan, Shaq, and Kobe. End of thread. Lafonda ball washers cry themselves to sleep with on bed stuffed with excuses.
