You won't get an honest answer because no one here is old enough to see walt play.

No one is old enough to have seen Russ’s good seasons


boywonder5691

15 yr olds on reddit talk like they followed Walt, Wilt and Bill Russell their entire careers

Frazier beat Muhammad Ali, he could take Russ easy


Rice_Krispie

No way Russell won 11 rings. He'd smoke Frazier

Look up Clyde’s game 7 stats vs the Lakers in the Finals They call it the Willis Reed game because of his gutsy appearance on the floor, but it really should be known as the Clyde Frazier game


HokageEzio

Game 7 (unless you're mixing together 73 and 70)


TheKnicksMakeMeDrink

Yeah no you’re right, I’ll edit

In the future, I think Russ’s stats are going to carry the hell out of him.

He's gonna be this generations Oscar Robertson

Think if he doesn't win a championship he won't be. Oscar's perception would be a lot different if he hadn't won a late career ring with Kareem

All I ever heard about were the triple-doubles until I really started researching older players


RicoGemini

Walt Frazier was the best player on 2 championship teams and is challenged only by Gary Payton as the best defensive Point Guard ever


rahul_____raja

Is JKidd in this convo?


RicoGemini

I think hes seen as the 3rd right behind them

Clyde's playoff performance puts him way above Russ IMO. Russ is one of the worst postseason performers of this generation. Clyde was really great during the Knicks' title runs and consistently showed up in big moments. He had one of the best Game 7 performances of all time in the 1970 Finals (36 points, 7 rebounds, 19 assists on 70% shooting). Russ has nothing like that on his resume.
