2024 All-Time NBA Draft Round 2: Team W vs Team R

Which team would win in a best of 7 playoff series?

  • Total voters
    16
  • Poll closed .
KD doesn’t play down there and why would Russell play down low when Duncan is? And better at it. You don’t want both playing down there.

Honestly I would’ve drafted Duncan to play center in this. Do people realize he played more center than powerful in the NBA during his entire career?

Duncan/Russell vs KD/Wallace

Seems like a pretty simple calculation. Which pairing would you prefer?

Tim Duncan has more championships than KD & Wallace combined.

And both Duncan and Russell were clearly the best players on their championship winning teams,
 
This means nothing to me Bill Russell played in an era with only 18 teams and his team was completely stacked with the top talent in the NBA at that time just because one player has more championships doesn’t mean he’s the better player

So you love the era argument when you saw them play and can hype up Bird, but that goes out the window when the player played before your time?

Modern or past time who puts KD above Bill Russell as an all time player? No one who is serious. Not to mention Ben ****ing Wallace

Lol I can't make heads or tails of how this forum decides era comparisons.

Russell is obviously a more accomplished player with a much better legacy than KD

Of course. But if you had a time machine and had to pick either prime KD or prime Russell to put on a team you're building, you'd pick the latter? I think that's crazy. Russell had so many limitations, and I don't think he'd be a top player in the modern NBA.
 
Russell is arguably the best defensive player of all time and Durant is arguably the best offensive player of all time. I can see how the comparison would be close, but also kind of impossible to say who's better.

Personally, Russell is my favorite player of all time, so I would go with him, but I don't think it's completely absurd either way.
