What if you replaced Bill Russell with Birdman?
If Russell was revolutionary because of his ability to block shots how different of an impact does the bird make on the league? First off we know teams wont trade him away because of his skin color so its hard to put Birdman on the Celtics without changing the course of history but lets pretend he ends up with the Celtics, does he turn them around defensively the same way Russ did, would Bird spark the break as well as he does for Denver in Boston? If so how many titles we talking here?

Great question. I think the birdman would dominate the league a long with Wilt the Stilt, but only get 6 championships instead of 10. I also think birdman would have been the logo of the nba if he was playing back then. foreals doe

How will Birdman have time to dominate the NBA if he accidentally meets his mother and causes her to fall in love with him rather than his father, disrupting the space-time continuum and forcing him to embark on a crazy adventure to to ensure his dad still nails his mum and he is still born?

Worst case scenario he will become his own father

In which case he will become twice as awesome. The NBA won't know what hit it (and clearly, neither will his mum).

Thats the creepy part, he tells his mom everything, now stop derailing my thread, this is a very serious matter.
Now who you got, Bird or Bill? Its a question Boston fans ask themselves everyday.

It seems like the OP is on the same substance that the Birdman was temporarily banned in the league for using.

their is only one bill russell.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their
shoes. That way, you'll be a mile from them, and
you'll have their shoes.

How about Dikembe? How awesome are those Wilt vs Deke battles be, Or does it lose its luster because there is no undersized underdog to root for?

Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson would have won a hell of a lot more championship rings.
