[C]As an individual player, many will argue that Bill Russell never really took the driver's seat against the competition. Consistency, leadership and defensive prowess can all amount to dominance, and Russell embodied them all. You can criticize him in any way you please, but his owning 11 NBA championships rings is the only rebuttal necessary.

Olajuwon also won a league MVP and snagged the DEfensive Player of the Year award in ‘93 and ‘94. To prove his greatness Hakeem won a title, Finals MVP,league MVP and DPOY awards all in the year of
