[@full6330name]

I love it how every single person respects russell

[@kirirussell]

"you never put one in the front row!" -that's the charisma and character that is a joy within KG!!

[@vigneshsubramanian2511]

Just for being the most wholesome man itself puts him as GOAT.

[@TAXENGINEER]

The Teacher and the student work together well.Congratulations K.Garnett you learned and went out and earned your championship ring as a Celtic.How many more only time will show. TY Bill Russell too

[@infect1985]

one more game kg this is so touching interview.this is the past and the present

[@deltadefconii4459]

RIP GOAT !!!!! ☝🏾✊🏾👑

[@jazzyjeff1282]

bill has the greatest laugh ever

[@pmanoah24]

imagine bill russell and morgan freeman in a room...smh

[@x6King6x]

Just imagine how many blocks would Bill Russell have if blocks were counted back then, I bet it would be more than Hakeem has.

[@nasur86]

they say KG is hard and doesnt hug other players but you can see how humble he is with the greatest defensive player of all time.

[@MovieHound17]

The greatest player to ever play the game in the history of the NBA Bill Russell, He is the NBA would u guys agree?.

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

I’m glad that Garnet gotta championship Even though I think he should’ve won more with BOSTON, I’m glad he was able to win it in our city 🌃 #617

[@Grapesfromabove]

it takes the passion that bill russell has to win as many championships as he did. kg has the passion to deserve many more titles than what he has.

[@alec9tap]

I love Bill Russell

[@jimmy2lip]

Classic. I can't wait to see the rest of this interview.

[@MrSpraker]

I would love to meet Bill Russell hes such a humble and inspirational man I wish i could be half the man he is.

[@iHazCavities]

Bill Russel has such a contagious laugh.

[@therelaxationstation5258]

Two class acts! You can’t do better than these two.

[@TOGGGAA1]

I teared up

[@YoooPatrick]

Very inspirational.

[@Johnlikesmariahcarey]

thank you bill russell for your profound words.

[@whydontyoujusttellme]

I wish I could laugh like bill russell

[@Pawelobi]

the best laugh ever hear (Bill Russell) and he always have a great jokes at the end :D

[@navonadesk5143]

MovieHound17 ive always said bill is the greatest ever not even close or debatable

[@vccstudents]

Navona Desk No argument here. What Russell lacked physically, he made up for with brains, especially with blocking shots and keeping them in play for him to get a turnover!

[@Yanagi88]

the smartest player who ever played the game is mentality what amazing

[@speedy1090]

LMAO....I love how both of these interviews end with Bill trying to lightnen up the situation.... I love KG and his passion and love for the game of baskeball, but these one on ones are getting to be too much...lol

[@Dr0Trickery]

hes so wise

[@Ivantheterrible666]

Thank you. That is so true.

[@boombox1177]

KG deserves one. As much as I like Kobe, I really want KG to win this time. The man has dedicated his life to the T-wolves but did not get the championship he deserves. I think it's about time.

[@johnmatrix41]

It's like the big 3 in the past Russel , Havlicek and Cowens it was really a nice series against the lakers it was like the time of Baylor West and Chamberlain the old lakers

[@xReppinHoustonx]

Damn, big ole me getting misty eyed and shit. Damn it

[@RomanSedlak]

bill is some funny guy..

[@Caron3Butler]

No one in the HISTORY of basketball had a higher basketball IQ than Bill Russell. Jordan was the best player in NBA history, Russell was the best WINNER in NBA history.

[@DCBALLIN]

Everyone wants to be like Mike because 6 is so easy.... but 11 is hard!!! Celtics 4 life!!!!

[@josecarranza7555]

There was like 8 teams in the NBA.

[@lmbscriptsharcs2044]

@@josecarranza7555 And every night he was playing against Wilt and Bellamy and Lucas and Mikan...the talent was there, and not diluted across more teams.

[@josecarranza7555]

@@lmbscriptsharcs2044 Still only 8 teams and only the Celtics and 2 other teams had a chance to win. It’s not a great accomplishment. Bulls 6 titles in 8 seasons is better than 60’s celtics. Russell didn’t play Mikan.

[@lmbscriptsharcs2044]

@@josecarranza7555 Their careers crossed in 56. So yeah. And throw in Nate Thurmond and Willis Reed. Let’s review. An Olympic gold. Two NCAA championships. 11 NBA championships in 13 years. Center for first all-black starting 5. First black coach of a championship team. A civil rights leader alongside MLK and Ali. KZbin can be a teacher- look at Russell Block Art. Russell would run Shaq into the ground and still be fresh. Just stop.

[@magich8ball]

this conversation is like KG talking to God

[@ironman36]

Did Russell just smoke a joint before this footage? because he has got one case of the giggles.

[@123four124]

its funny cause if u watch kg he never puts him in the front row he pulls most of them down

[@y2shuproblem]

There's a Kevin Garnett on the court and there's a Kevin Garnett off the court.

[@Maximillian200HP]

Damn this was before Kevin got a Championship

[@BrendanOC]

Best comment here!

[@therandomguy332]

Never put one in the front row?? Never like get that outta here?? Gimme that?? typical garnett pumped up every game

[@NOyaPara]

Zen Master Russell

[@5142232093]

@pbergeron2 Nice comment man whenever i watch a celtics game i feel like red is always in the garden. you can feel it

[@sauuuuuudi]

his laugh is kinda funny.......but he's a legend

[@jfeely27]

plus garnett's game time sneakers will make you taller than average shoes!

[@strat002]

damn you reply fast... anyway i am a celtics fan and am in no way a lakers fan but... kobe?

[@GeomighTNYC]

KG is the alter ego of Bill Russel , i mean that in a good way.

[@GEzeTv]

@jjumpong00 it does but bill was never taller

[@michaeldblack]

stats aren't everything. kg is the best player on the celtic team and it is because he had no ego that they won -- he was selfless and let other players shine. it's not just a great individual effort, but a team effort. maybe that's the difference between celtics and lakers. when the chips are down lakers go to kobe, but with the celtics they go to the team. who won? also, lebron doesn't have a very good team -- he has to do more.

[@schwalbstar]

@92tillinfinity hehe right. they would have to scream to each other with full extension lol

[@LeBrow420]

Well, I admit LeBron might not be a as perfect teammate as Russell but he is trying hard to be one since the beginning. He has good attitudes on defence and sharing the ball. Thats why you barely find any his games without assists. LeBron hates when people say he 's not a good teamplayer and I can feel he wants to be remembered not only as a great attacker but also a great teamplayer just as Oscar Robertson and Magic Johnson.

[@TheLtrain85]

KG is 7'0". He's taller than Dwight, they just list him as 6'11" Russell is 6'9"

[@DemonDriver31]

TheLtrain85 Well russells height is debatable it is said that he's 6'10 or 6'9.

[@KidAJonni]

@garnetttribute No, Russell is 6"10 and i always believed Garnett was 7 ft

[@brownie003]

how did u come to me thinking about his points only. I never said that. Lebron had a great all round performance last season

[@LeBrow420]

if you watch LeBron's game closely its not hard to see that he actually willing to do whatever it takes to win, not only scoring, but also make effort on rebounding ,asting and blking shots. Kobe is that kinda player would only try to score as high as he could.

[@LeBrow420]

LeBron's stats also shows he's not only a scorer. All those triple doubles, steals and chase down blocks ,dont forget the tight 1 on 1 defence on Derrick Rose last year playoff. man thats one big all around basketball player right there. How could you call a player who's doing everything a "not a good teammate"? Speaking of good players but not so good team players I would definetly put Kobe, Carmelo, and even my favorite Allen Iverson ahead of James.

[@RickGrimes807]

@TheEman67 Of course...on the court, you gotta be aggressive in order to win. It's not your role to play the nice guy on the court. But then again, being aggressive on the court does not mean the player is being mean or a jerk. That's sportsmanship...and there's a thin line between aggressiveness and aggression! lol

[@jjumpong00]

theyre both 6'11 right? whys KG look taller dan bill? is age make u smaller?haha

[@SuperNeriel]

bill russell is 6'10... plus the yoda thing. :p

[@michaeldblack]

haha, dude you're harsh, what did I say?

[@GoldVibranium]

Somewhere these 2 start on a fantasy team and they are problems for all who face them

[@BB0ysGames]

Russell looks a black Yoda lol

[@bawb14]

bill russel as the next Joker!!!! he hahahahaha

[@BeardsMcFly]

Russell's about 6'9" or so

[@dyrdek3234]

russ is 6'10 but maybe like 6'9 now hes shrunk

[@TheEman67]

russell could of knocked it into the 7th row but he didnt he was smart about it

[@jjumpong00]

6'9?on NBA LIVE 08 i think hes 6 '10 or '11?haha..o hes 6'9 jut lyk K-MART..nd Melo reached 6'9 ryt?

[@TheEman67]

@WorldOfSnakes i kno but kg be startin shit but wen the ref aint there 2 break it up he wont do nuthing but i see wut u sayin

[@leoqaz003]

@garnetttribute 6'10"

[@pose716]

umm no. kobe switched to 24 which stands for 24/7 to represent the most admirable work ethic in the nba...do ur research noob. kobe has a lot of respect too.

[@brownie003]

look at the stats this year, lebron's done more for his team than any player in the nba. i.e. most effective ---> VALUABLE

[@brownie003]

lebron james is the most valuable player in the nba

[@zebrasarenothorses]

Take Kareem out - Neither Wilt or Russell considers him a top 5 of anything. I'm not saying Kareem's a scrub

[@Ray_Petree]

Bill Russell said in an article for the Seattle Times, in 1974, that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the second best center ever, behind himself.

[@brownie003]

wat ur saying is completly irrelevant to a player being valuable

[@TheEman67]

its great 2 see dis bill seemed lik a evil dude who wil fuck up ur shot but hes not hes a genius an kg seemed lik a dude who always starts fights but hes mor than that too

[@brownie003]

kobe's team mates r way better than wat lebon has to work with

[@LeBrow420]

For some great people Its the "ignorance" drove them became what the are. Some people have to keep saying"im the best, nobody could beat me"in their head over and over agian,they have to believe it, so that could them keep being great. Thats just a psychological sugguestion to use. Most great figures in any competive field have that "ignorance" on them, and its a nessasery ignorance. Bill Russell was "ignorance" too incase you dont know. Don't be naive

[@strat002]

well... who knows man maby it will be lebrons and the cavs time soon.

[@alec9tap]

Yeah he probably shrunk with age...

[@strat002]

dont get me wrong lebron is a nice guy... but he is not the mvp of the nba

[@LeBrow420]

better learn to read

[@lexander411]

he laughs to much of his own jokes
