    Diamond Bill Russell

    His price is dropping fast. There are tons on the AH and it seems like his pull rates are higher. That and the fact that there is little demand for him because he is strictly defense.

    He should be about 300k by next week. I want to pick him up because i'm trying to create the ultimate defensive squad.
    Lineup:
    PG) Gary Payton
    SG) '95-'96 Michael Jordan
    SF) Sapphire Scottie Pippen
    PF) '95-'96 Dennis Rodman
    C) Hakeem Olajuwon

    Re: Diamond Bill Russell

    I noticed there were like 12 of them in the AH.. He probably has a very high pull rate because I doubt there are that many people opening regular packs with the AS packs still out. It's possible that his pull rate is just high for today then it will slow down. He's a lot better than Kemba Walker so I don't think he will drop below 400k. Then again, if the supply is there then who knows.

      Re: Diamond Bill Russell

      Just picked him up off the bench to give my bench more defense. Dude is a straight up beast, especially with his 84 speed when running. I was gonna get DPOY Howard but Russell is an amazing passer and that quickness helps a lot.

      Not to mention on-ball and post defense. Basically defensively this card is ridiculous !!

      I wonder if 72 steal can be utilized on other centers.

        Ughh I really want him but I know his price will drop some more so im trying to wait. I played with him in Play Now Online and he dropped 28 for me. Finishes everything under the rim and defense is top notch.

          Do you have an unlimited source of MT?? Seems like you have everybody. How is his speed running the PnR compared to Dwight? Bill's 94 pass perception 98 reaction time look deadly, bout the same as Hakeem.

            He's most likely buying mt, how much he going for right now?

              He's already as low as 500k on ps4, that is shocking for a diamond on release day. I just compared the stats and although Bill is a better rebounder and more athletic than Hakeem, they are pretty equivalent on defense minus lateral quickness and Hakeem is a far superior offensive player. I think I would rather have Hakeem than Bill Russell at this point.

                even buying MT is expensive (you need 100 USD for 400K mt or something like that) but to have so much MT to get diamonds for 5 bench minutes is absurd...

                    I dunno of this is your first year playing but.... You are out of your mind if you buy mt right now ... I knew what I wanted to do front the day this gsme came out going from previous years experience... So I bought all my mt within the first 3 weeks of game being out and it was about 4x cheaper than what it is now. That's pretty much the difference, more demand right now. For the price of what mt costs now I got almost 4x as much early, you do the math..... Anyways, hopefully it will put an end to all the questions. Mods feel free to delete this please if it's against rules.

                    Back to Russell......

                      You do understand that buying MT is cheating and unfair to everyone that plays against you and also a violation of TOS of the game right?

                      And you can cut your attitude. People buying MT is one of the reason prices are so high for everyone vs 2k15

                        I was just curious because of all the diamond players you talk about having tried, definitely was not intending to put a target on your back! Sorry for that.

                        So how is Russell? Have you taken him online yet? I am sure his defense is spectacular.. but how is his post game? How does he compare to some of the other elite big men in the paint on offense? Also, he has crazy rebounding stats, think it's like 95 or something, but is his 6'10'' height a liability or does his vertical make up for it?

                          If people are pulling him this much already, have the amethyst odds improved as well?

                              of course I'd like to have him but these cards just arent that big of a deal for me. I would only play Bill at PF. offline I use the Twin Towers and I use them online some too. they are a force to be reckoned with. There will always be a lot of pulls when these come in every pack. This would be a good card to have since the BM you can't sell and the MVP will likely be more scarce because they will only be in one pack.
