Bill Russell with a billion dollars would have been a genuinely transformational force for good.
Wilt Chamberlain would have been more like Jordan, a largely apolitical figure who occasionally funded some positive projects.

I WOULD like to see Larry Bird comment on Jamal Khashoggi (his fellow Indiana State alum murdered by the tyrannical Saudi State). Kareem or Russell would.
