At 6'8" Russell would be considered undersized for a PF these days

Anyone that buys the modern NBA listed heights is super gullible.

....best players or most Championships? Malone is second all time leading scorer and has a few other records that will be tough to beat! Stockton has two records that won't be broken, total assists and total steals! And if you don't have Kareem on this MT. Rushmore than your crazy, crazy!

I think Russell still would have been a really good player in the league today. His defensive effort would be refreshing from what you see in the NBA now a days.

.....Russell, in his prime, in today's NBA....would have been ALL defensive 1st team every year he played! He was one of the few players in the history of the NBA that would block a shot and then GRAB IT...rather than just knock it in the 3rd row of the expensive seats! As far as his rebound totals per game, I'm sure he would have been double digits, probably high teens, since he knew what "boxing out" really meant and could do it!

I know it means the 4 best players. Not Malone because I would have put Kareem before him as the top leading scorer of all time, but Stockton makes a damn good argument for being up there. Leader in assists and steals and I don't think those records are ever going to be broken. The best PG to ever play the game just happened to play for the Jazz is all :)

My other selections:

Wilt Chamberlain --> The scoring beast, just check this link: https://www.landofbasketball.com/records/60_or_more_points.htm
Aside of the 100 pt game, he scored over 60 points 32 times!

Bill Russell --> The ultimate winner. He might have not been the most technical C there ever was, but if we're talking about results, if we're talking about the endgame that is winning championships he certainly is the guy you would count on. Imagine going up against the team with a C who has won 7, then 8, then 9 championships, and so on... If that isn't intimidating I don't know what is.

Michael Jordan --> The ultimate complete basketball player. He had it all, the hard defense, the scoring ability, the winners mind. A shot you knew would go in almost all the time. A guy who's modern superstars are always compared to (Kobe, Lebron..) The difference? I always put Kobe and Lebron in that Bulls team and they wouldn't have been able to beat the team with my favorite player ever, the best PG there has ever been. And you can't call me a homer for the following, the basketball instincts are out of this world, he knew where the other 9 players on the court were at all times. No kind of 'magic' could stop that...

So you are saying all of those guys are 6'8"?

According to my sources Russell is 6'9". I don't know where he got 6'8" from. I am saying that those guys heights are exaggerated by about an inch and a half.

In other words if Russell was playing he would be listed at 6'10.5". As the images clearly show.
