NBA's All-Time Playoff Defenders

Maybe the greatest defensive force in history, and the cornerstone of the Celtics dynasty of the 1960s. The 6-9 Russell was an uncanny shotblocker and one-on-one defender who revolutionized defensive concepts with his ability to dominate a game on that end of the court. He always delivered in the postseason, thwarting foes from Wilt to West as Boston racked up 11 NBA titles in 13 seasons.
