RIP Bill Russell

Posted by Brett Allen on August 1, 2022 at 11:23am

RIP to the greatest winner in pro sports, the greatest Celtic ever, William Fenton Russell, aged 88.

11 NBA Championships, including 8 in a row, the last two as player coach, 5 time MVP, Finals MVP trophy named after him, 2 NCAA championships, 1956 Olympic gold medal. 

The first African-American head coach of a major pro sports team. 

Quite simply the Greatest.
