The player
A defensive genius who epitomized the words leader, team and champion. The greatest winner in the history of American sports. -- Broussard

Never an elite scorer, no player impacted the game in more ways or made more winning plays than Russell. -- Adams

He stepped up when it mattered most. By my metrics, no all-time great contributed a higher percentage of his overall value in the postseason than Russell. -- Pelton

Russell's career is impossible to refute at the most fundamental level of sports: winning. -- Doolittle

Cant believe someone picked Curry or Durant over Bryant. That recency bias.

Cant believe someone picked Curry over Bryant. That recency bias.

I picked Bryant last year, and I found him difficult to build around. Curry is an easier pick.
