You are correct about Russell, most people just don't realize how limited he was
offensively. He was typically the 3rd to 4th offensive option on the team, and despite not drawing double teams still shot in the low 40s %, which for a front court player is really bad. No way that he was as good as the elite centers of the NBA, most of which were their team's best offensive and best defensive players.

Overall, I agree with your list. Chamberlain vs Kareem vs Hakeem is the only questionable one. I would go with your choices because Wilt's stats are inflated and Hakeem could shoot FTs and had more polished post moves that Wilt never needed to develop. It might be different if Wilt was raised in today's game.

Looking forward to seeing Steph Curry on the list in the next 5 years.
