you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

I live just outside Boston, and even though I am nothing but the most casual of basketball fan you better believe I've seen a good amount of Russell stuff just from living here.

It's impossible to compare them, really. LeBron is a much better scorer, but he's obviously never going to win 2 titles as a player/coach.

I'm trying to think how badly Westbrook would have to get injured in game 6 for Durant to think the Wizards were a better option next year than staying. Like if Russell's left foot literally fell off and had to be surgically reattached and he had to undergo two months of rehab just relearning how to walk again I think Durant would still rather stay than go to the Wiz.

I mean, obviously its tough to compare modern day players to those of 50 years ago in any sport. Objectively speaking today's players are monstrous freaks of nature that are just plain physically better than anyone from 50 years ago. So it's not really fair. So do you go by a "relative to their peers" metric?

Except baseball where being an out of shape fatass like Ruth will still get you 40 home runs a year.

Wilt Chamberlain's athleticism was some Pecos Bill style American tall tale outlandishness without any modern steroids and health routines and he would be the best center in the NBA with any sort of modern training
