Dwight Howard held Joker to 18/9/5 over 9 games... and Howard was age 30-36 at the time, so not his best.

6'9, 210 pound Russell against a 7-foot, 280-pound Joker??
You're trolling, right?

Russell held Wilt WAY OFF his normal averages giving up more size than that.

Re: who you rolling with? 🤔
In 61-62, Will averaged 51.9 ppg against teams not named the Boston Celtics.
Against the Celtics, he averaged 41.7.
In the playoffs against the Celtics, he averaged 33.6.
Yeah, I think Russell could slow down just about ANYONE.

Russel would get his ass handed to him by jokic just like wilt did to him. Wilt had entire teams game planning to stop him and he still dominated. Ben Wallace is the best defensive player in NBA history so I'll go with him.

I LITERALLY just showed you how much Bill was able to slow down the great Wilt Chamberlain.

I don't give a shit, and you can prove that Russel is the sole purpose for that, Russell himself would have said it was a team effort, nobody knew better than Russel that he by himself is a sitting duck against wilt, way way better player.Robceltsfan wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 1:44 pmI LITERALLY just showed you how much Bill was able to slow down the great Wilt Chamberlain.

Defense is always about "the team"....but the anchor is the most important piece. Russell was the anchor BY A LOT.

The Celtics were 1st in defensive rating in 1969 with old man Russell, and 8th/14 in 1970 after he retired but with the number 2-5th guys (by minutes played in 1969) coming back.

Re: who you rolling with? 🤔
It's always tough when you're talking about an player of the older days playing a current player or playing in a current era.
Like with Bill are we just saying we time travel Russell in his prime to today and have him defend Jokic with no knowledge of the style of play Jokic has or the three point takeover (prime Bill never played when 3s were a thing but feel free to correct me if I am wrong there).
Or are we saying Bill Russell is born in 1997 and has all the same mental and physical gifts but knows about modern basketball and the way it's played today.
Because I think two people who are debating this need to come to an agreement about this before continuing. Otherwise it's just semantics of how that person interprets prime Bill Russell guarding prime Jokic.

To be fair, even prime Dwight/Timmy didn't deal with "today's" style of play. They were still just trolling the interior.
