The way to answer this question is, what SF, swapped into BRs role during the finals years, could have tipped the scales, and if they would have made a difference over B Russ.
Along these lines I think 3 guys would have had a bigger impact and may have tipped the scales:
1. Adrian Dantley
2. Prime AK
3. Prime Ingles
Then I would slot in Russell.
I think Dantley and AK are pretty obvious. But I slot Ingles in here because he was so much the complete package, top notch 3 pt shooting, excellent D, and on top of that he would have been probably the 2nd best playmaker on those teams. I think he would have been enough to tip the scales.
Then I would slot in B Russ and the rest in some order after that.
