Welcome to sportz !

BTW, welcome to the site, xisaacx3junx!

Ha Gibbs beat me to it, and no its not Bill Russell....

What's your arguement again? How cananyone be better, Bill's got 13 titles!

Gibbs if you want to be part of the Bill Russell love fest then thats fine...

what are you implying? That I appreciate true greatness?

TRD, TRD, TRD, you must be in the implying to Gibbs that he is following what everyone else thinks. But if you think about other people, there is a lot out there that say that MJ is. Are you implying that they are following their hearts or the people surrounding them. There are many players that did little things that actually turned out to make them big. But Russell had this flow and he made things so simple around him. Gibbs and I are always on the same page and this time, there is no doubt, "Russell is the greatest."

Travy, i havn't a clue really as to who the best/greatest basketball player is. Its a sorta joke aimed at Gibbs, we always have a little dig at each other lol!

Now me and basketball don't go together, i don't watch it, don't particular have any great interest in it, i don't know who the players are and of old. So if your saying bill russell, whoever he may be then i believe ya!

ah, it finally comes out, TRD admits I'm right...

I don't admit your right, i don't know anything about the players so i can't really comment.

Bill Russell might not be the best player for all i know.. It could be M Jordan, Wilt, Shaquille O'Neal, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Dave Bing, Larry Bird, Julius "Dr. J" Erving, George Mikan.. But hey what do i know..

Ah, c'mon man, you can admit it...

Gees what about the master of the sky-hook Kareem Abdul Jabbar surley he must be up there in the mix. if its not him its bill Russell

He is up there Archy, but he is not the greatest. Thanx, I just helped you out Gibbs. How many times does he admit your right, seriously!

TRD has this habit of not admitting his errors, or that I'm better than him...

Archy, welcome to the site, dude! Hope to see you around the board.

Check out the NBA finals thread, too -

well i admitidly know Jack about Basketball, but i'd have to go with Wilt Chamberlain, i know he scored a whole mess of points and had a 100 point game. That is what i'm basing my vote on.

what about manu ginobili he is pretty good and the only basketball player I know

Russell still, no change!

Currently playing, Ginobli would have to be up there. Of course, there are only about 24 curretnly playing,
