Basa in here saying he would be "approaching Bill Russell status" if he had landed with the right team. Well he landed with the right team at 33. Nobody was beating any of those sorry ass teams doors down to add Battier as the championship piece. Is he good on the court? Yes! Is he great in the locker room and in front of a microphone? Yes! If he went down, would the heat still play good defense and have one of their other interchangable pieces knocking down threes? Yup.
