Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell has a strong argument for why he should be considered the most athletic NBA player of all time.
Russell made his case Tuesday, pointing out that he excelled in the high jump and as a sprinter, after former NBA center and current analyst Kendrick Perkins said LeBron James is the most athletic player in NBA history.
That was all Perkins needed to be convinced that Russell is more deserving of the title than James.
