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
“8 teams” like the creation of the Washington wizards and charlotte hornets would stop Russel 😭

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
