If the Grizzlies replaced Darko with Bill Russell in his prime, could they win 8 championships in a row?

Question

Also would Bill Russell also make Hall of famers out of Mike Conley, Mike Miller, Rudy g*y, Hakim Warrick and Kevin Love?

Answer 1

Mike Miller isn't on the Grizzlies anymore, and g*y Conley Warrick OJ Mayo are all to... so-so players. Love isn't on the Grizzlies anymore.

And 1 person doesn't make a team, so no Bill Russel couldn't do that.

Answer 2

bill russell would instantly make them a much better team but they wouldnt win 8 titles in a row.. there is just too much competition today compared to when russell originally played.. it also must be noted that there were less teams back then so it allowed for each team to have more good players(the celtics were always loaded) whereas today there are more teams and some teams only have 1 oustanding player.. also the team in memphis is soo young so it would take a few years to get in the playoffs and eventually win a title.. the griz also play in the west which makes it that much tougher..

Answer 3

It certainly wouldn't hurt the Griz.  If only...if only
