There's no way. Russell weighed only 220 pounds, by my count that's 125 pounds less than Shaq. That would be like Magic guarding Shaq. As far as the Celtics championships, did you know that most of them were attained when there were only 8-10 teams in the league and only 2 rounds of playoffs. That is a far cry from the juggernaut of 4 rounds that the NBA Champion has to go through today.
"As good as Bill Russell was, and he was the best defensive center I ever saw, at 220 or 225 he just didn't have the size to go up against Shaq,"
