Message: [QUOTE="AccuRater, post: 1652539, member: 648"] This might be the dumbest post of all time. All he did was fundamentally change the game. Before the Celtics obtained him in one of the most lopsided trades of all time (Easy Ed Macauley!?) the Celts were a good team. Never won a championship. Russell was with the Celts for 13 years. In 11 of those years, they won the championship. Sure the Celts had other good, even great players, Bob Cousy, the Jones "Brothers", Satch Sanders, "Ack Ack" Heinsohn. But I don't believe anybody who followed the NBA during that era would deny that Bill Russell was the key to the success of that dynasty. It's about winning. Not about stats. Bill Russell was a winner. [/QUOTE]
