Kinda surprised no reactions.
I’m not even a Celtics fan.

A legend. He made shot blocking an art and an offensive weapon.

No one will ever do that again.

He may not ever be called the best ever, but he surely was the winningest player ever.
Loved his work ethic, unselfishness and intelligence.

11 NBA championships in 13 yrs, but he was hurt in one of those years the Celtics didn’t win, so he really only lost 1 year in the NBA. He should have his #6 retired by the NBA just like Jackie Robinson in baseball.
Major loss for planet earth. Enormously successful basketball player. Enormously influencial human being.
Hal sucks
Indeed

He had 2 California state high school titles as well; one of his high school teammates was Baseball Hall of Famer Frank Robinson.
The Yankees could go 0-162 and it wouldn't be enough
I never heard that.
What a champion!

RIP Mr. Russell. What a legendary figure in sports.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
I grew up watching Bill Russell and the Celtics play when they were on. Most regular season games I had a radio stuck to my ear. "Go Up For Glory" was one of my favorite reads. He was certainly the greatest champion of all time. Giving anyone the label as the best ever is always debatable. We all have gotten caught up in these types of discussions for sure. What I've said is if you had a chance to build your own team, who would your first pick be? A tall, lanky, shot blocking, greyhound in the middle would be very tough to beat. Not to mention the fact that the only statistic that mattered to him was the one hanging off the scoreboard at the end of the game. To win every game was always his goal. My absolute favorite all time bb player. With his passing, a part of my youth takes a shot.
The picture the other day with him and Frank standing together was a good one.
#6 retired by NBA throughout the league. Well done, and we’ll deserved.
