Who has the best former teammate lineup in his career? (Bill Russell)

5:25pm, 18 September 2025【Basketball】

Bill Russell was born in Monroe, Louisiana, USA. He was nicknamed "The Lord of the Rings" for his 11 NBA championship rings in his career. He was the main center of the Boston Celtics in the 1960s and is also considered the best defensive center in NBA history! In his 13-year career, Russell won the MVP five times, the All-Star 12 times, and the AMVP three times in 1963, the 1st team, the 8th second team, and the 4th rebounding champion!

Russell won a total of 21,620 rebounds in his career, ranking second in the history of total rebounds. Russell, who holds 11 championship rings, is the player with the most championships in NBA history! In addition, Russell also led the team to win 9 championships in 10 years and 8 consecutive years of championships. If Pettite had not emerged, Russell would have won the 10th consecutive championship...

Without further ado, what level is Russell's former teammate lineup is not something you and I can count on! We use data to speak for what is right and who is wrong!

Then this issue of Sanpang will continue this new series - a list of who has the best former teammates in his career? (PS: The former teammates naturally do not include the current teammates, so as to avoid the overflow of bargaining comment sections. We are here to mark them in bold!!!)

Starting lineup:

Point guard: Bob Cousey

Dual team: Boston Celtics

Dual partner duration: 7 seasons (56-57, 57-58, 58-59, 59-60, 60-61, 61-62, 62-63)

Partner period data: 17.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.9 assists

Peak season data: 19.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 9.5 assists(59-60 season, Celtics)

Career honors: 6th championship, 1st MVP, 2nd AMVP, 10th first team, 2nd second team, 8th assist king, 14th All-Star

Sanpang brief comment: As the originator of point guard, Cousey's reputation does not need to be repeated too much, right? This pioneer of dribbling behind the scenes brings a refreshing feeling to all the audience! So can basketball still play like this? It turns out that small people can have such a big impact on the game? It can be said that without Cousy's sudden emergence, there would be no future scene of point guard prosperity!

Scoreback: Bill Shaman

Two teams: Boston Celtics

Duration of two partners: 5 seasons (56-57, 57-58, 58-59, 59-60, 60-61)

Partner period data: 19.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists

Peak season data: 22.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists (57-58 season, Celtics)

Career honors: 4-time champion, 1-time AMVP, 4-time first team, 3-time second team, 8-time All-Stars

Sanpang Brief Comment: As an amphibious star with double blooming basketball and baseball, Sarman was well-known for his outstanding baseball skills before entering the NBA. Shaman, who signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1950, has a five-year professional baseball career! Gold shines everywhere. After finishing his baseball career, Sharman also hit an extraordinary height! The 8 All-Star Tour is the best proof.

Small Forward: John Havlicek

Dual team: Boston Celtics

Dual duration: 7 seasons (62-63, 63-64, 64-65, 65-66, 66-67, 67-68, 68-69)

Partner period data: 19.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists

Peak season data: 28.9 points, 9.0 rebounds, 7.5 assists (70-71 season, Celtics)

Career honors: 8th championship, 1st FMVP, 4th first team, 7th second team, 5th first defense, 3rd second defense, 13th All-Stars

Sanfat brief comment: Haflicek, who has just entered the league, has demonstrated excellent scoring ability, and as Russell's younger brother, his performance on the court is also vivid. However, based on these alone, it is impossible to judge the height of Havlicek's future growth! This former younger brother took over the team's flag after Russell retired, and the former seedlings also grew into towering trees! As the Celtics' scoring champion in the history of the team, Havlicek's value is naturally unquestionable.

Power Forward: Tom Heinthorne

Two teams: Boston Celtics

Two partners: 9 seasons (56-57, 57-58, 58-59, 59-60, 60-61, 61-62, 62-63, 63-64, 64-65)

Partner time data: 18.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2 .0助攻

巅峰赛季数据:21.7分、10.6篮板、2.3助攻(59-60赛季,凯尔特人)

职业生涯荣誉:8届总冠军、4届二阵、6届全明星

三胖简评:海因索恩作为绿军的绝对传奇,不仅在球员时代为绿军贡献了8座总冠军奖杯,还以教练的身份为凯尔特人再添两座奥布莱恩杯! The Celtics star entered the NBA the same year as Russell and beat the Lord of the Rings to win the best rookie of the season! Heinthorne and Russell spent 9 years in NBA career. The terrifying efficiency of 8 championships in 9 years is also an unprecedented legend...

Center: Ani Lesson

Team: Boston Celtics

Dual-partnered duration: 2 seasons (56-57, 57-58)

Partner period data: 6.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.0 assists

Peak season data: 16.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists (50-51 season, Royals)

Career honors: 2-time champion, 1-time second team, 4-time All-Stars

Three fat brief review: As an excellent scorer and rebounder, Lesson had the ability to confront McCann at that time! The strong and burly Lesson did not suffer any loss in strength and confrontation, which could be seen from his Rochester Royals' experience in winning the championship. After choosing Russell, the Celtics specially recruited veteran Leson under the command of the goal to quickly pass on his experience to Russell and allow him to grow quickly!

Substitute:

Scoreback: Sam Jones

Dual team: Boston Celtics

Dual length: 12 seasons (57-58, 58-59, 59-60, 60-61, 61-62, 62-63, 63-64, 64-65, 65-66, 66-67, 67-68, 68-69)

Partner period data: 17.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists

Peak season data: 25.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists (64-65 season, Celtics)

Career honors: 10th championship, 3rd second team, 5th All-Star

Sanfat brief review: As the championship reaper second only to Russell, Jones won the championship trophy 10 times in his 12-year NBA career! Such a championship-winning efficiency may be second only to Russell and Heinthorne? This outstanding scorer is the first player to carry forward the board shooting! He even used the skills of playing board shots on the finals to complete the finals... It is worth mentioning that the last point of Jones' career was a jump shot on Chamberlain's head!

Small Forward: Barry Howell

Two-way team: Boston Celtics

Two-way partner duration: 3 seasons (66-67, 67-68, 68-69)

Partner period data: 19.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists

Peak season data: 23.6 points, 14.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists(60-61 season, Pistons)

Career honors: 2nd championship, 1st second team, 6th All-Stars

Three fat brief review: As a No. 3 player, Howell can control the ball and sort out the organization as flexibly as a guard, and can also take rebounds as strongly as a center! This forward who spent his peak at the Pistons was undoubtedly the absolute star in the NBA at that time. However, Howell, who has repeatedly missed the championship, lost confidence in the team. After winning the championship trophy twice after turning to the Celtics, he was also a long-cherished wish...

Power forward: Wayne Ebrie

Two teams: Boston Celtics

Two partners: 2 seasons (66-67, 67-68)

Data during the partnership period: 5.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 0.7 assists

Peak season data: 19.8 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists(61-62 season, Royals)

Career honors: 1st championship, 5th All-Stars

Sanfat brief review: The trident formed by Ebry, Big O and Tweman in the early stage made the Royals famous in the NBA! However, many failures in the playoffs made Ebrie never have the chance to touch the O'Brien Cup. The fans' unreasonable abuse and accusations fell on Ebrie, which was extremely disappointing... Ebrie, who finally turned to the Celtics, finally successfully realized his dream in the 67-68 season! The only one who knows the bitterness and tears in it is probably that Ebri is the only one who knows.

Power forward: Clyde LaFowlet

Two teams: Boston Celtics

Duration of the two: 2 seasons (62-63, 63-64)

Part time data: 6.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists

Peak season data: 23.4 points, 12.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists(57-58 season, Royal)

Career honors: 3 championships, 1 second team, 3 All-Stars

Sanfat brief review: LaFowlet's legendary experience is not just that he won the O'Brien Cup three times, the most important thing is that LaFowlet is the first player in history to win the NCAA, NBA and Olympic championships! His career is known for setting a precedent for centers' single-handed shooting tactics on the outside. He is a strong and powerful center with excellent scoring ability! LaFollet is one of the few players who have won both the Celtics and the Lakers.

Swing guards: Carl Braun

Two teams: Boston Celtics

Duration of partnership: 1 season (61-62)

Side period data: 3.7 points, 1.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists

Peak season data: 16.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists(57-58 season, Knicks)

Career honors: 1 championship, 2nd second team, 5th All-Stars

Sanfat brief review: As one of the most outstanding guards in the entire 1950s, Braun dedicated his 12-year career in the New York Knicks! However, loyalty did not bear fruit, and Braun never won the championship trophy, which is the direct reason why he chose to go to Boston in the last season of his career. Braun joined the Celtics in the 61-62 season, but fortunately, God did not tease him anymore. In the last year of his career, Braun got his long-cherished wish!

Scoreback: Andy Philip

Two teams: Boston Celtics

Two partners duration: 2 seasons (56-57, 57-58)

Partner period data: 3.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists

Peak season data: 12.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 8.2 assists (51-52 season, Warriors)

Career honors: 1st championship, 2nd second team, 2nd assist king, 5th All-Star

Sanfather brief review: As a former famous forward guard swinger, Philip is known for his quick hand-control and exquisite passing vision. This ancient superstar is the first player in NBA history to reach 500 assists in a single season! However, like the above-mentioned stars, although Philip is famous, he is always suppressed by the Celtics and misses the championship... Philip eventually "submitted to the enemy" in his late years of his career, and was able to end his curtain call successfully...

Power forward: Willie Knowles

Two teams: Boston Celtics

Two partners duration: 3 seasons (63-64, 64-65, 65-66)

Partner period data: 10.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists

Peak season data: 25.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists (61-62 season, Knicks)

Career honors: 3-time champions, 4-time All-Stars

Three fat brief review: Knowles' legendary career is not only because he has won the NBA championships three times, but also because Knowles is the first black captain in mainstream sports! In a beacon country full of racial discrimination, the meaning of being able to be a captain as a black person is self-evident! Knowles, who averaged 25+12 per game at his peak, is definitely worthy of being the All-Star, but he is just a two-fist fighter who can't beat four hands... His final destination was just like the previous few who came to the Celtics to win the championship trophy...

Then the above is the best former teammate lineup that Bill Russell has ever worked with in his career in his Fatty. I wonder what you have on this?
