You Tube Gold: Greatness Meets Greatness

This is a nice little video of Tim Duncan and Bill Russell.

It starts with Russell greeting Duncan after what must be a playoff game with Duncan showing obvious respect and affection for the greatest winner in the game and says some very complimentary things which you’d respect. All basketball players should revere Russell but big men most of all. And Duncan of course was one of the most successful - and sound - big men of all time.

Duncan won five NBA titles, less than half of Russell’s 11 but more than almost anyone else in league history other than Michael Jordan, Scotty Pippen, John Havlicek, a few of Russell’s other teammates and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
