Actually, it's quite easy to disagree. The question was what athlete went out on top, with the most talent left. Bill Russell retired after winning 10 NBA titles, but that could've been the case for a lot of players had the Celtics kept them on the team, even the terrible bench players. With less great players back in the 1960s, Russell's numbers are inflated. In his final season, he averaged 9.9 points and 19 rebounds, but averaging that many rebounds was not unheard of back then. He did not go out on top with the most talent left.
The correct answer is Jim Brown.
