Similarly, Worthy is in the hall while superior peers aren't thanks to being carried there by Kareem and Magic. Not a big fan of the Maravich types either but like Iverson gets all-star selections, volume scoring gets you props even if it isn't connected to team success.

Oh and have I mentioned recently that Bill Bradley is the most overrated player in the history of the NBA?
I agree w/ your comments about Russell's teammates & also Worthy being carried in by Kareem & Magic.
