Bill Russell.
Concur.
My favorite all-time player was Pete Maravich.
“Bill Russell”
..............
The best players have to be all time greats on defense.
..............
John Wooden called Russell “the greatest defensive man I’ve ever seen”.
...............
averaged 22.5 rebounds per game, 51 rebounds in a single game, 32 rebounds in a half
..............
11 championships in 13 seasons........Kareem and Jordan have 6, Wilt has 2
................
No other player ever had as much influence over whether a team won games and championships.
.............
Is there a better definition for the Greatest of All Time???
Give me a healthy Beaver (Theodore “Bill” Walton’s UCLA nickname) and my center is better than anyone’s.
