Bill Russell is the most overrated player of all-time. He averaged like 15 points a game. Sure, he got a lot of rebounds and played good defense, but that’s like calling Rudy Gobert one of the goats.
Also, let’s not forget he played at a time when there were only 8 teams in the league and the team he played on was stacked beyond belief. The entire starting lineup plus the sixth man were all-stars. You win one series and you’re in the Finals. You win two series total and you’re NBA champions. That’s why he has 11 rings.

You clearly don't understand an era when defense was valued more than offense. He was one if not the best defender of all time. The team was never an offensive powerhouse and he got those 15 with a lot of good players on the floor with him. Go back and look how they did with him off the floor, if basketball had a simple WAR stat I think you would be amazed. Russell won 5 MVPs at a time the players voted for the winner. The only way Bill Russell is highly overrated is if one is making a GOAT argument but even then he is an easy Top 5 argument and would be a consensus Top 10. Recency bias is the only thing holding him back now.

That is a dumbass statement, there is a reason he is considered one of the greatest basketball players of all-time. Matching up against Chamberlain and winning is the same as beating Jordan.

He has as many NBA championships as Michael Jordan + LeBron James + Nikola Jokic, and, he was the best player on his team.

Yeah, because rebounding and defense aren't an important part of the game. It's all about gaudy scoring averages, right? Let me know when they name NBA Finals MVP Award after Rudy Gobert. Since he's never sniffed the NBA Finals, you may be waiting a while.
