Because he dominated his era and regularly bested perhaps the most physically gifted player in the history of the NBA (wilt)

His career high in points per 36 min in a season is 15.6.

His career average per 36 is 12.8 pts.

He was great on one side of the ball. And his Celtics teams were loaded.

So why does that put him ahead of a player who was dominant on both sides of the ball?

Because he was ridiculously dominant on that side of the ball and was asked to sacrifice his offensive game to the other scorers on his team. Hakeem and his Rockets never dominated, they snuck in and won two championships when the Jordan wasn't playing full seasons. BR and his teams won everything for a decade. There's just no comparison. Hakeem was a phenomenal player and a great gentleman from what I know of him - but to compare him to Russell tells me you just don't give older players any credit.

I take it from your point of view and signature picture you are a Rockets fan. You know people who are not big Hakeem fans are not going to share your point of view.
