“I’m going to be one of the top four to ever play this game. For sure,” the humble James said. “Somebody got to get bumped. That’s not for me to decide. That’s for the architects, to chisel somebody’s face out and put mine up there.”

Apprised of James’ picks, Russell replied, “Hey, thank you for leaving me off your Mount Rushmore. I’m glad you did. Basketball is a team game, it’s not for individual honors. I won back-to-back state championships in high school, back-to-back NCAA championships in college. I won an NBA championship my first year in the league, an NBA championship in my last year, and nine in between. That, Mr. James, is etched in stone.”

Russell who just turned 80 went on to proclaim Greg Oden the greatest player in the history of the world and said LeBron was a "big b****."

Did he also know that Don Shula never won a Superbowl?

f***ing great jab... even at 80 Russell rejects a scorer and defends like no one else.

Who dat Man?

Black glasses, beard, books on the window, (in my class room), must be a hipster...notice my message to hip!

Haha amazing! I've been pwnd like Russell did to LeBron lolz

Did Russell really say that line? Man, epic. Sobering little history recap for the young bucks.

Russell said the first stuff I wrote. The business about Lebron being a b**** I made up while getting stoned.

I miss you guys... sad emote.
