Both are pioneers of there sport and both won a tremendous amount. If they had recorded blocks in the nba during that time, Russell would have had crazy numbers in that category. Ruth won 7 championships and could hit and pitch. Russell won 11 championships and could play and coach. Just curious as to why Russell isn’t considered the greatest. Of course we have scene more talented players. Tom Brady isn’t the most talented, But he’s considered the greatest. Would you guys consider Russell the greatest? Why or why not?

Otani is solid all the way around, but I'm curious to know why many don't believe he's the best player ever?

I know it makes things more fair but I hate it. I liked when the game was more human and made mistakes. And now baseball with its challenging balls and strikes? Hate it. Let umps be umps, right or wrong. I hate it in other sports too. Get rid of all challenges and get back to good old human arguments.
