what they don't have in superior athletic talent, they have the best fundamentals and heart.
Someone like Amare may have better athletic skills, but he doesn't have near the acumen Russell or Wilt or Mikan had. You could bring in the 2007 celtics and the 1969 celtics, and the Russell team would win every game. They had the minds, and hearts to beat anybody. Their skill will always trump uber athleticism with the ego mania and street skill the players have today.
