Bill Russell celebrated his 80th birthday with a visit to the NBA’s All-Star game on Sunday. The former Celtic legend had a few words for one LeBron James who left the 11-time NBA champ off his “Mt. Rushmore” team last week.

“Hey thank you for leaving me off your Mt. Rushmore. I’m glad you did. Basketball is a team game. It’s not for individual honors. I won back to back state championships in high school. Back to back NCAA champsionshps in college. I won an NBA Championship my 1st year in the league. An NBA championship my last year. 9 inbetween. And that Mr. James is etched in stone.”

Hey, Bron Bron, this is what the real king of the mountain thinks of your game:

In an interview with NBA.com, LeBron James listed the four players he would put on the NBA’s version of Mount Rushmore: Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson.

James then added:

“I’m going to be one of the top four to play this game, for sure. And if they don’t want me to have one of those top four spots, they’d better find another spot on that mountain. Somebody’s gotta get bumped, but that’s not for me to decide. That’s for the architects.”

Alright, King James, let’s slow down before you start tearing down monuments.There are a few more titles to win until you join likes of His Airness (six championships), Magic (5) and Bird (3).

And James can forget joining the real king of the mountain: Bill Russell – 11 NBA titles.
