If Rudy Gobert played on a team with 5 other all-stars in a league of only 8 teams, he would have won a bunch of Finals too.

dude WTF are you talking about? you know you can look this stuff up, right?

Russell played in the All Star game from 58-69
in those years he played with three team mates in the All Star game ONE TIME, 1962

the Celtics All Stars from that era were usually G Sam Jones, F John Havlicek, and C Russell

an old Cousy, Heinsohn and an old Bailey Howell were mixed in at different times. Wilt had All Star team mates too.

So I will grant you Sam Jones and Hondo and Russell were stout but the guy who validates your point is Tommy Heinsohn?

The NBA expanded to 9 teams in 1961-62, 10 teams in 1966-67, 12 teams in 1967-68 and 14 teams in 1968-69
