RIP legend
Aw. Rest In Peace Bill Russell🙏🏼
He was a legend!
saw him as a teen when we first got the Bucks franchise. As an impoverished white kid, I thought what he and others stood for was good for me, too and I so loved him, Kareem, and Ali. Right with Barbara Jordan and Shirley Chisholm
You were so lucky. I’m jealous. He played before my time, but I would have loved to have met him, and watch him play. 🙏
Another impoverished kid here. Didn’t follow basketball, but thanks for recalling Ali, who I did follow, and Barbara Jordan, whose speech on the imepachment of Nixon committee still brings me to tears.

Disregarding the “trollers” in the earlier comments (just tacky): So sorry for our collective loss, and condolences for his family and all sports & civil rights followers.
All Of Our Legends, Are LEAVING!!!!!!!!! And Somehow, We Are MADE Less, From THEIR PASSING! I’VE ALWAYS FELT THAT WAY!!!!!!!!!!
@Veganpotter Thevegan something you will never be
@Veganpotter Thevegan Yes! But What Has Gone Before, Will Always Maintain It’s VALUE!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS WHY, WE MISS PEOPLE AND THINGS!!!!!!!!! FOR WHAT THEY MEAN TO US, AS INDIVIDUALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Frank Wilson yeah, and the same will be said about future figures that aren’t even born yet.
@Veganpotter Thevegan My Point, Exactly! It’ll One Day, Even Be Said Of Us!!!!!!!!! I Wouldn’t Mind, Being Remembered!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Mr. Moore. Mr. Russell was a ahead of his time – NBA GOAT in the 60’s and simultaneously a CIVIL RIGHTS HERO.
I hated Bill Russel when he played basketball because I was a 76er fan. After he retired he became one of my favorite people. He was also great as a commentator for NBA games. He would always laugh at his own jokes which would crack me up.

2 NCAA championships at a school most people have never heard of. 55 straight wins there. Olympic Gold Medal. 11 world championships in 13 seasons. A civil rights pioneer. There will be nobody that will approach accomplishing all those things again. He was Special! RIP Russ.
