In 13 seasons:

-11 time NBA Champion
-5 time MVP
-12 time All-Star
-11 time All-NBA
-4 time Rebounding Champion (against wilt chamberlain, since it matters "who they played")
-2 time Hall of Famer (inducted as both player and coach)
-1 NBA All Defense (award was only created in his last year playing, it is widely considered he would have made it frequently if it had existed)
-1 jersey retired league wide
-2x NCCA National champion
-Olympic Gold medalist
-NBA Finals MVP Award is named after him
-NBA Lifetime Achievement Award
-Presidential Medal of Freedom for his civil rights activism.

All the other fun stuff you'll counter with with Jordan, either didn't exist when Russell played or came in just his last year. But here's Jordans resume on comparable stats in 15 years:

-6 time NBA Champion
-5 time MVP
-10 All NBA
-9 All Defense
-14 time all star
-1 NCAA National Championship
-2 time Olympic Gold Medalist
-1 time Hall of Famer (2009)
- Presidential Medal of Freedom for his cultural impact

Decide for yourself which resume has more accolades. And again, you can't count things like DPOY for Jordan, because they didn't exist for Russell. Gotta measure with the same stick. Your rules.

A few things you missed for Jordan in those 15 years.
    • Career Scoring Average: 30.1 points per game (highest in NBA history)
    • Playoff Scoring Average: 33.4 points per game (highest in NBA history)
    • Fastest player to get to 32k points, and did so with over 100 games shorter than 2nd place.
    • You mentioned he's a 14 time allstar (would be 15, but broke his foot in the middle of a season, so EVERY YEAR was selected as an all-star)
    • Rookie of the year
    • 10 time scoring champion
    • Named as #1 in every NBA and writing's top 100 players.
    • #1 on NBA top 75 players (Defeated 34 of the players on that very list)
    • Also it was 11 ALL NBA selection (10 1st team, 1 2nd)
    • Naismith memorial basketball hall of fame
    • 3x allstar MVP (Tied for second all time)

    I wanted to keep it to 'things that existed during his old ass time'.
    So yeah... Jordan is better. And from the looks of it, like I said, it's not close. Now like I said there's no 'moving the damn goal post'. It's literally what I was already saying. Now find something wrong with this too, somehow, instead of just admitting it.
