RIP to Mr. Russell.

I wonder if people will stop discrediting what he accomplished on the court because of the era he played in…

Still one of the most important, least talked about moments in American history.

I love all of this.

When my dad and my siblings first visited the States in ‘99, we were fortunate to see Bill Russell during my mom’s graduation at Boston College. I was just in 2nd grade when it happened so I was too little to even comprehend what he meant to the game and the city, but to see my dad realize his dream to see an NBA player was definitely memorable. My dad had bunch of stories about how Russell is one of the most decorated, well-accomplished players during his playing and coaching careers.

Basically, Russell was the first NOTABLE athlete we’ve seen, then got to watch Pedro Martinez dominate against the Mariners during our stay.

You couldn't leave this part out??

You couldn't leave this part out??

That team had A-Rod and Ken Griffey Jr., if I recall correctly. That would make it a critical element of the story (assuming the played that day if they were on the roster)

My man Pabs, ‘99 was memorable for da Shoeter Family. Pedro had like 12 Ks in that game.

And they just lost in extras to the damn Astros a minute ago

“Look, all I know is, the guy won two NCAA championships, 50-some college games in a row, the [’56] Olympics, then he came to Boston and won 11 championships in 13 years, and they named a **$#ing tunnel after Ted Williams.” - Tommy Heinsohn

Legends never die. RIP to the GOAT

Who does that?

A few people were downplaying him and Wilt's greatness a few months back.

Anyways, RIP to one of the greatest athletes of all time.
