I don't think so. Everyone should respect Wilt, Russell, Mikan, West, Cousy, etc contributions to the game because those guys are part of the foundation of the NBA. With that said, the ridiculous stats some of those guys output should be placed into proper context.

The only thing those guys did was dominate the game in the era they played in, which is all you could ask of them.

Bill Russell becomes the first player in NBA history to have his jersey retired across the league. All NBA players will also wear a patch on the right shoulder of their jerseys during 2022-23 season, and every arena's court will display a clover-shaped logo with No. 6. https://t.co/bhNSldVKz0

The NBA will retire the No. 6 league-wide honoring the late, legendary player and activist Bill Russell.

feral sleet

#

When baseball retired the #42 league wide to honor Jackie Robinson, the MLB allowed all players who were wearing the #42 before the number got retired to continue wearing it. The NBA will more than likely do the same.

feral sleet
# hexed olive Why?

If they were to continue retiring #s for other guys in the very future, there would be very limited amount of numbers to pick from

#

I just think there are better ways to honor someone without limiting an NBA players # selection

hexed olive
feral sleet
hexed olive
#

That's partly why Jackie Robinson's number is retired throughout baseball but other all-time greats are not done that way. Yes, Kobe and Wilt are clearly all-time greats, but Russell's impact helping to tear down racial barriers not only in the NBA, but in the United States is a large reason as to why they are doing this with him vs. not doing it with other legendary players.

#

I never understood why jerry west was ā€œthe logoā€ when bill russell was more inspiring than him imo

#

I don't know. It's just something that the MLB and NBA have decided to do. I don't think it's a big deal and they won't constantly be retiring numbers throughout the league. This is the first time it's ever happened in NBA history.

feral sleet
#

I just hope it’s a one time thing because if it continues it’s gonna be annoying

My only comment about the jersey number retirement is why couldn’t they do it while he was alive? Have a ceremony and such.

#

^further proving my point

#

I think in the NHL Wayne Gretzky's number is retired league wide as well.

feral sleet
#

But simply a # will not do much imo. He should be an NBA logo or something where people would look at something and ask ā€œIs that bill russell?ā€ People don’t care about a jersey number, whatever catches someones eye will make someone remember you like a statue, a sports logo, a brand or whatever. Like michael jordan doesn’t need his number remembered because he has his own damn legendary logo the jordan logo, multiple statues, and multiple legendary accolades that will be remembered forever

All I can say for certain is, when the kids are making ā€œbigger faster stronger more skilledā€ arguments 30 years from now, we’ll be defending Bron’s legacy like we do Jordan’s and the men before us do Wilt. Because realistically, Wilt is at the very least the GOAT of athletes. His vert, speed, strength, height. Yeah, dudes insane. Wish he would’ve been born later so we could see how he’d do today in the NBA. Especially with motivation from Shaq’s style if that would’ve been a route he may have taken because he was not a Shaq-like player though he could’ve been that dominant imo.

# cinder zodiac I feel like there's a goat for every era tbh

I can get down with that, it seems like the only possible thing when you have the "bigger faster stronger, more skilled" crowd because like I mentioned, 20 years from now there'll be someone who is competitive to LeBron's legacy because skill will only become higher. I love both players, I even like LeBron more than Mike. But I do think if we're comparing the players from different eras, Michael is better. For now at least, LeBron still has a case to make to become the GOAT imo.

He doesn't get his flowers for a lot he did, and to be completely fair, he didn't win a lot of rings. I just don't think people overrate him really. Maybe not even underrated, just properly rated. H

#

For the average basketball fan though, so thinking about people that don't often participate in discussions, I imagine Wilt is underrated. But for people who do dig deeper and converse about it I think people have made great cases for why they place him so high. I don't think he's #1. I could probably place him top 15, though. Never really thought about anything besides my #1 and #2 and favorite players (which I have no idea where I'd rank them, mostly just talking about playstyle).. it'd be too hard to make a top 10 I think.

For sure I hate when people act as if Russ was the only problem on the team. They still have plenty of issues to sure up if he wasn't there. Either way they can't do anything this season anyways unless they can find a way to get veterans for cheap. They have max money in 3 players all of which are old or injury prone. All they've been able to get so far is lonnie walker which is nice but not game changing.

At some point, whether it be in this off-season or by the trade deadline, I think Westbrook's value will increase. He's an expiring $47 million contract, so someone will be interested in that, especially if the Lakers tie in some draft picks. I would assume at some point Kyrie gets traded by the Nets, otherwise he can just walk next off-season (unless they plan to re-sign him to a long term deal).

# topaz nest We all have to admit, Steve Nash coaching is trash

I think it's fair to say that Nash's head coaching didn't seem to be great. The issue is that Durant publicly called for him to be removed from the team, and there are a few instances where Kyrie Irving has shown what appears to be disregard for Nash. I just wonder how much this team can come together under Nash's leadership when the two best players probably don't have his ultimate respect.

Not directing this at anyone here, but people need to chill with the Chet Holmgren is a bust talk. Looks like his foot injury was a fluky occurrence. He could use the year off to gain more weight and muscle being in an NBA strength and conditioning program.

Ben Simmons and Blake Griffin missed their entire rookie seasons. Joel Embiid missed his entire first two years in the NBA. Not saying Chet will be as good as any of those guys, but those are examples of other players who have missed their first full season (or more) and came back to be excellent players.

The Jazz and Knicks can still find a pathway on a Donovan Mitchell trade, but it's just harder to do: Out of 179 NBA players who've had the Poison Pill restriction, only one -- Devin Harris in 2008 -- was traded. https://t.co/4frUsOZzNf

TBH I hope the Heat doesn’t trade Herro for Donovan, cause Donovan’s defense is more worse than Herro’s

And the next, people want him gone for Donovan

I'm sure you're probably driving a lot of people crazy with that, but I for one hope you're right. You've got mah boy from the Pacers, Sabonis, on your team. And you're due. You haven't been there for 15 years.

It's pretty neat how in NBA 2K23, you can start in 1983, when the Kings played in KC. And keep them there if you really want to.

Not as high on the kings as y'all are. Outside of Davion Mitchell they have some real defensive issues on that team that need to be addressed.
