None of these other comments seem to have any clue how dominant and groundbreaking an athlete Bill Russell was. Magic's respect is way more than deference to his age.
Acknowledge all the incredible accomplishments at that table. Let's further acknowledge that among Russell's 11 NBA championships are *eight in a row* and let's not forget 2 state high school championships, 2 NCAA championships and an Olympic Gold medal. Finally, let's acknowledge that Russell's last two NBA championships were as a player-coach, as the first black head coach in a major U.S. sport.
@@jarvasedundy1 can tell you weren't around back then. Until the Celtics and the Lakers met in 84 the finals were tape delayed until 11:30. That was the first primetime series. Jordan expanded and made it global but without Bird and Magic there might have been nothing left to expand.
@@BoosterGoldEarth6 Jordan did save the NBA in the 80s. When Jordan was drafted the 84-85 season. People were saying, They have never seen a rookie play like that before. The dude made second team All-NBA that season in his rookie year. That mean he was a top 5 player in the NBA and plus his Air Jordan 1 shoes. Also market him well and sold over million copies. He had everyone rocking them.
@@ryancasablancas8361 yea because he played in a era where there were under 10 teams and the average player was 6 foot 2 white people and he had a super team compared to the others
@Jesus Shuttlesworth Better is relative....on the basis of what stat you're referring to, whether individual ability or team play, and context of situation. So I agree, and disagree.
It just doesn't get better than these 4 legends. 3 of them are in my top 3 NBA players of all time. The 4th is number 4. It's a damn shame their time is over. It was so much more entertaining to watch when they played.
Wilt Chamberlain would've been perfect for this...his comedic timing and superstar personality. Kareem is very guarded and uncomfortable in opening up his personality or being something other than what ppl are accustomed to seeing of him but he's getting there. Lighten up Kareem.. it's ok to have fun
Kareem has always been like that. Always seemed like he was uncomfortable regardless of who he was around. Russell and Magic are total polar opposites of Kareem and Bird is somewhere in between although he's lighted up A LOT since he retired.
Kareem abdul jabbar, i have been a fan of yours for over 1 month. by the way i am going to get the ,'' make a friend that doesn't look like you" t shirt. It would be an absolute pleasure for you to reply to my comment. (:
You called Bill Russell "Bill Walton" in the description box...I don't know if Kareem wrote that himself, but whoever did should be ashamed of their self. Smh
I think it is because Bird was always an assassin and everyone who played against him understands he got that killer instinct, you see that same think in Jordan and Kobe, but not so much Lebron... these days Dame dolla has that killer instinct
@@justinbaskin5283 dames got it but he’s small. He will always be limited defensively. He’s gonna need a lotta more help to win compared to the other goats you mentioned
Kareem is a fine and decent fellow who has made tremendous contributions to sport and good feeling among the people, but nevertheless this is why Kareem must be thoroughly destroyed at the level of his DOODLEBUG!
Magic saying sir to Bill Russell,what a sign of respect
seeing an ocean in a puddle there, pal. DOTS
He's old. That's why.
Mr. Russel was 80 at the time. It’s just a matter of showing due deference to one’s elders.

thanks for pointing this out to our team it was a mistake
Bill Russell's laugh LOL
One of the best laughs ever.
"Be quiet, little man." Can't. Stop. Laughing.
25 championships at one table.
Nearly half of them Bill’s
Correction, 24. Larry bird has 3, Kareem & Magic 10, Mr Bill Russell 11... I got you. 🤜💯

Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird all together. The best of the best. Unbelievable.
That was the best Time if u put Wilt for Kareem and Jordan
I love the way Bill nudges Larry while laughing at the end. I could listen to Russell laugh all day.
Shooter, scorer, passer, defender... 4 legends
Add in Jordan and you have arguably the best team of all time.
@@outlander234 you could put my old butt with the four of them in their prime and it’d still be the best team all time.
@@outlander234 Arguably? LOL!
R.I.P. Mr. Bill Russell!!!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Bill's laugh is the greatest thing ever.
His laugh could cure cancer lol!
At 0:49 you can already see Magic cracking up because he just knows that it's Larry :D
"Take one of our rings."
"Really? I can have one?"
"No..."
Bill Russell's laugh = BEST EVER
The Mount Rushmore of basketball right here. Sorry MJ you’re the best but these people saved the NBA.
Great take
Jordan saved the NBA and took it to new heights
@@jarvasedundy1 Jordan didn't save the nba in the 80s. He took it to global heights and when he came back. He carried the league. Big difference

How many MVPs?
And almost half of them are from Bill Russell

Yeah true, Walton is way better. HUGE difference
4 legends and great human beings...as a Celtic fan mad respect for all of them and along w Jordan are candidates for goat ..Wilt too
That duck duck goose resembled Larry's career in a sense.
Explain please
Roy keane Smarter than you. Always waited for you to make the first mistake then he took advantage and buried you.
@@roykeane8670 Larry wasn’t the fastest or the most athletic but he was the most intelligent.
@@roykeane8670 wait for others to make mistakes, and exploit them. Smartest player ever
@@marcleon1513 Maybe on the court he was.....but off the court, Kareem was by far the most intelligent.
Lil Beck is so cute with all of them haha. This is so pure.
I have no idea if he's a basketball fan he must have been crapping himself during this if he was. Good lord what a table of legends.
Larry Legend hilarious then and now!
Kareem is so good..very funny reactions he gave there... complete opposite to what I thought
Pure legends at that table. 😮
Bill Russel is funny, what a legend
I'm wondering how much fun they had being together for this short time.
Awesome to watch!!!
Bill Russell's laugh 💟
R.I.P Bill Russell
Why do I love this so much?
No way did the real Kareem Abdul-Jabbar post this and list Bill Russell's name as "Bill Walton." No way.
4 of the 5 greatest.
Four of the best players ever
This was genuinely funny
Add in Jordan and you have arguably the best team of all time.
facts
Wilt is better than Kareem.
umm if these 4 were on any team it would be better
R.I.P. BILL
these guys still know how to have fun. i want to be like that when i grow up!
The Bill's laugh its amazing hahahahaha , two serious men (Larry and Kareem) and two joyful and ever laughing men in Magic and Mr. Rusell, wow.
RIP BILL RUSSELL
I thought it was going to be a milk commercial with four GOATS sitting there.
AWESOME!!!!!
4 legends, 25 rings
LOL! True and most are Bill Russells
props for math bro
The 4 greatest players of the Celtics and Lakers
Agreed
This is great!!!
Kareem mentioning this at the 2023 Legends Brunch brought me here 🙏🏾
That was awesome
He like the Hobbit in the middle
+michael moss Exactly. LMAO.
These men are huge.
What legends sitting in four chairs
4 of top 8 players in nba history right here...leo, celtic fan.
@Jesus Shuttlesworth yes
@Jesus Shuttlesworth huh? What are you arguing? For context I have 1. Kareem 2. Russell 3. Bird 4. Jordan 5. Magic 6. Wilt
@Jesus Shuttlesworth Better is relative....on the basis of what stat you're referring to, whether individual ability or team play, and context of situation. So I agree, and disagree.
absolutely classic!!!!
So....Kareem posted this and typed Bill Walton instead of Russell? That's the funniest part of this clip.
Those 5 are one the best basketball teams ever!
I love seeing all of them laughing!
It just doesn't get better than these 4 legends. 3 of them are in my top 3 NBA players of all time. The 4th is number 4. It's a damn shame their time is over. It was so much more entertaining to watch when they played.
That’s good stuff right there. When basketball was real basketball.
Legendary video…
Bird had Bill Russell worried at 0:43 😂
Imagine all of them on the same team in their primes? Add Jordan as a SG and you have an all time undefeated team.
Bill Russell 11 rings, Kareem 6 rings, Magic 5 rings, Bird 3 rings
Kareem 6 MVPs, Bill 5 MVPs, Magic and Larry 3 MVPs
That table is GOAT table.
❤️ em!
beck is so SMALL HAHAHAHHAHHA
omg the description says Bill Walton… can someone fix that please
Wilt Chamberlain would've been perfect for this...his comedic timing and superstar personality. Kareem is very guarded and uncomfortable in opening up his personality or being something other than what ppl are accustomed to seeing of him but he's getting there.

I'm pretty sure him and KAJ don't like each other. he was really only close with Russell here, and in the league in general

Kareem has a good, underrated sense if humor best displayed on his two episodes of Diff'rent Strokes and the movie "Airplane."

I know Bill is like yoda but Is it me or does Everyone always show ultimate respect to Larry?

So many goats might as well be a farm !
GOD bless
You have #2, #4, #6, and #7 all time

Description says Bill Walton
How many NBA titles between these 4 legends?
25
20
24
I love Bill Russell don't get me wrong but shouldn't it have been Parish or MacHale
I guess the theme was the greatest
Ghost’s Shadow shoulda used Shaq then
@@richbutter4579 for what?
8 big feet in a small room !!
the guy in the tux looks like Beck Bennett from SNL
25 Championships at that table.
Not Bill Walton, Russell.
Besides the dude in the middle no one here is under 6'9
Wish Wilt was still there
Wilt would have loved this, if him and Mike were there, it would have been great
Yeah, sadly Wilt has been been for over 20 years
Nah, Wilt might have still had beef with Kareem.
No Wilt ans MJ would have ruined by arguing about who was better. Those 4 guys Bird, Russell, Magic and Kareem are comfortable with their legacies.
It IS great.
In my opinion this is MT. RUSHMORE. The UPPER room of the HOFs.
Interviewer: In the final year of your career with the Celtic's, did you take my wife out when she was a teenager?
Larry Bird: Mm-hmm!
Autographs please!
Hum Hum
0:46
Cool!! Good thing these legends kept their day jobs! Only Kareem was composed thanks to his prior acting experience.
☺️☺️☺️
Bill Walton? Sorry- that’s Bill Russell.
BILL WALTON LMFBO
All I can do is this… Ha ha ha ha!
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson are Legends but Bill Russell and Kareem are TITNAS
For comparison beck is 5' 8"

TOP 2,3,4,5 PLAYERS TO EVER PLAY THE GAME BELONG TO THE RIVALRY OF LAKERS-CELTICS

Wish McHale was there instead of Kareem
Couldn’t they have found some chairs and a table that weren’t intended for kindergarteners?
Thank god scoring buckets don’t require acting skills…or these guys would had been toast..lol
Kareem is a fine and decent fellow who has made tremendous contributions to sport and good feeling among the people, but nevertheless this is why Kareem must be thoroughly destroyed at the level of his DOODLEBUG!
