Bill Russell A Champion On & Off The Court Transitions

Record after record. Championship after championship. In high school, in college, with the Celtics in the NBA : as a player and coach !

So iconic especially in the civil rights movement. Despite the on the court success for the Celtics, Boston in Russell’s day was a tough place to play for an individual of color.

August unfortunately begin with the passing of the 88 year old legend. Along with Wilt Chamberlain who passed in 1999, guys like him and Russell you think despite it not being feasible : that they could live forever.

Hopefully they can play a game of one on one, as they met again like 76ers / Celtics and Lakers / Celtics.

Rest well gentlemen.
