Russell on the other hand from 56-59 had a total of 5 other HOF players and the 62-63 team had cousy and havlicek as the other stars.... look around at the rosters, plenty of all-timers on those squads that won russell all those rings.
Wilt though was incredibly fast, could shoot and was huge and powerfull. Absolutely nobody could guard him. Shaq in his prime vs wilt in his prime would have been a nice battle but wilt would have simply run around him.
