Bill Russell has the highest FG% in an NBA Finals series (30 FGA Minimum)
1965 NBA Finals
18.0 PPG
25.0 RPG
6.0 APG
70.2 FG% (9.4 FGA)
57.5 FT% (8.0 FTA)
68.9 TS%
Often criticized for his poor FG%, it is ironic that Russell has the highest FG% among scorers with 9.0+ PPG.

Bill Russell in 1969 at age 35 still had enormous impact.
Led the Celtics to the #1 defense and -6.4 rDRtg.
Held Elvin Hayes -4.2 ppg and -4.1% relative to his averages in the RS.
Held Walt Bellamy +2.0 ppg and -9.0% relative to his averages in the RS.
Held Nate Thurmond -4.7 ppg and -7.0% relative to his averages in the RS.
Held Willis Reed -3.9 ppg and -4.8% relative to his averages in the RS and +2.9 ppg and -1.2% relative to his averages in the PS.
Held Wilt Chamberlain -4.2 ppg and -7.6% relative to his averages in the RS and -8.8 ppg and -8.3% relative to his averages in the Finals.
Coached the team.
Won all 3 series in the playoffs without home court advantage beating very strong Knicks and Lakers teams.
Won his 11th championship.

Bill Russell lost an overtime game in Syracuse, took an overnight bus ride to Boston. Scored 29 points and 43 rebounds in a game he was KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS and had a cut tongue. Tell me the 60s was easier than today. Tell me that RIGHT NOW

Lot of players through history have put up KB-level regular season stats for a stretch
but can they take over Game 7 in 00 WCF?
Can they take over the Finals at 21 when their co-star fouls out?
Can they average 32, 7 & 6 in stacked West Playoffs at 22? Some BIG assumptions

Here is your gentle reminder that tough defense & a hand in his face really didn’t matter for Larry Joe Bird!!!

Y'all, watch this video on 21 Dame. I think it does an incredible job at showing Dames insane offensive prowess at his peak, while perfectly illustrating just how bad his teams were during his peak.

bill russell is pretty easily the goat possession-maxxer btw.
not only the potential goat dreb’er, but the best pace pushing center ever—insane c2c & outlet passing.
combine that with goat-lvl rim prot and fast-break defense, u have a suppressor of like 90% of offense.
my goat.

Bill Russell was 6’10 in shoes w a reported 7’4 wingspan. He tied olympic gold medalist Charlie Dumas in the high jump in 1956 clearing 6’9. He ran a 49.6 second 440 as a track athlete in college. This is a top 5 athlete in the league today, maybe the best

Ppl that say wilt didnt drop 100 are hilarious cause 1. He averaged 50 for a season he could have dropped 100 and 2. Why would they lie to make a black man look good in the 60s like if they did lie about it they would have said it was Jerry west or smth

That's correct

They don't know there's no such thing as a stretch big and opposing teams will be thrilled to let him shoot all the threes he wants to. Oh well
