‘Etched in stone’: Basketball great Bill Russell schools Lebron James over his NBA Mount Rushmore gaffe

LeBron James to Bill Russell, "I'm sorry I left you off my Mt Rushmore." Russell, "I'm glad you did, basketball's a team sport." Love that!

Bill Russell to LeBron: "Thanks for leaving me off your Mt Rushmore, I've got 11 titles. That's etched in stone." Legend. Take heed, LBJ.

You can't have a Mount Rushmore and not put Bill Russell on it. Lebron deserved that read ?
