The “8 teams” criticism people use to slander bill Russell will never not be stupid asf to me 8 teams just means the talent’s even more concentrated. I’d argue it was harder then than it is now. Dude consistently had to beat guys like wilt

There’s basically only 8 teams in contention at any time, I see your point but idk that it’s valid

Only 8 teams in contention means that there’s great talent being wasted on the other 22, meanwhile back in Russel’s era, all that talent was consolidated into the 8 teams
