His last year they were the fourth seed in the east and still won it all. Russell is the GOAT, if you consider the object is to win.

Do agree on Brady being a POS and having better teams around him though.
Brady and Russell both had great coaches and players around them. There are at least 12 players who played on Celtics teams during Russells time that are in the Hall of Fame. That's pretty outstanding. Russell was fantastic, but I believe that if you switched Chamberlain and Russell and kept everything else the same, the Celtics would have still won a bunch titles. Maybe a few less than with Russell, but the Celtics were loaded with players and had the best coach too.
