Our quote of the week comes courtesy of the great Bill Russell, who dropped this gem in response to LeBron James leaving him off of his Mount Rushmore of all-time league greats:
“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.”
