Some years ago if you went to a Boston Celtics practice you would see the entire team practicing in the gym together with the exception of one. They would practice together on the court running offensive plays, working on defensive drills, and scrimmaging rehearsing game situations. On a side court by himself would be 13-time NBA Champion, Hall of Famer Bill Russell. There was a simple reason for this. If they let Russell play with the rest of the team he’d block all the shots, get all the rebounds and score all of the points. Thus the team could get nothing accomplished when he was on the floor.
