Why Bill Russell is the most overrated player of all time (thread)
In the 11 champions he’s won he has NEVER had less than 5 hall of famers on his team
Never been above 15 in points scored in a season same with ppg
Has 2000 lest all time rebounds than wilt when they played against each other a lot since there were not many teams at all.
But yet people rank Bill Russell over Wilt and praise him for his rebounding
Bill Russell vs Wilt Chamberlain through their career
Wilt Chamberlain averaged
30.1 ppg
22.9 rpg
54% fg
Bill Russell averaged
15.1 ppg
22.5 rpg
44% fg

Bill Russell showing why he is the best defender ever 😹
Never was top 9 in player efficiency rating

Never top 13 in offensive win shares either

Doing this while playing some of the most minutes in the league
In win shares he was all over the place going from 2nd to 9th about every year

Very inconsistent player
Even while being top 15 in apg every season he was 18th and 17th in assist % his whole career
The “best rebounder ever” doesn’t even own the most in a single game
On average games with bill vs wilt, wilt has a higher literally everything except ft %
This is why he isn’t top 8 in my books
That’s the thread 🙂
