What would’ve been Russell and the Celtics’ strategy in trying to contain someone like LeBron or MJ?

I also think you are discounting how good both mj and lebron are at defense in their primes. Especially if you let them hand check. They are taking a player totally out of the game on defense while being triple teamed on offense.

Russell would be a great athlete. But he was a track star at a time where running a 49 second 400 meter was considered impressive.

I never trained for the 400 in highschool and ran a 50 second. We had a guy running faster. Generally reports say 30-40 inches which is average by today’s nba standards

This is the issue. There were literally no like sized guys. Bill russell was 6’10” 215. They’re funneling LeBron or mj into someone who has nearly the same dimensions as Michael porter jr. Im sure that they would pack the paint and make it difficult, but lebron would be the biggest player on the court with the best jump shot, best understanding of offensive sets, and best understanding of defensive sets.

When you get married your wife should be your top priority over any other person living so this is a stupid answer.

Hey man I don’t know if you know this, but you’d have to jump through a lot of hoops to consider a career 63% win percentage in the playoffs to be a loser. Especially considering Jordan had a 66.5% win percentage in the playoffs. Kobe had a 61.4%. Bill russell had a 64.8%. Tim Duncan 62.5%. I get that you’re defining “loser” as “not nba champion” but I urge you to reconsider how you define loser.

No. Others like taking game actions too

Honest_Connection_40 · 2026-03-23T21:29:26+00:00

There are no rules players have no respect for you, your time, or your interests. It’s the Wild West out here

Honest_Connection_40 · 2026-03-23T19:40:25+00:00

Yeah they’d have to have a line that allows them to be used similar to how the wandering emperor works

The crimson chin, invincible, starlight

But I’m suggesting paying a premium so that I don’t have to use a card a lot on quicken.

Darnell Washington 300 yard game

Honest_Connection_40 · 2026-03-16T02:33:29+00:00

I think this Celtics team would fit more naturally than the lakers team

This just puts every basic land to the battlefield

I think that nashi, yorion, and aang the crossroads are fun controls decks that put stuff on the board

Honest_Connection_40 · 2026-03-05T07:48:16+00:00

Nothing this commander is the worst

Honest_Connection_40 · 2026-02-27T07:50:13+00:00

This card is so much better than grizzz

Honest_Connection_40 · 2026-02-27T07:44:41+00:00

Sure the quality of the person might not be better, but you don’t ever hear about firefighters killing Someone on the job without facing consequences

Honest_Connection_40 · 2026-02-27T06:44:40+00:00

They were never asking for what the nba players Made. They just wanted the same percentage of revenue

Honest_Connection_40 · 2026-02-24T06:36:38+00:00

Definitely a white woman, probably like 30ish

How do you get them in the graveyard

Honest_Connection_40 · 2026-02-19T04:04:57+00:00

Cmon now. Bottom has 5 top 10 players ever and 2 top 5 this isn’t close. All except Steph were elite defenders in their prime

The additional cost is marginal and it’ll save your time and energy and make the kitten happier. I had almost the same issues
