Godspeed Bill Russell . Basically saw in high lite films but his exploits are of the highest level. Always seemed very affable in post career !

RIP

A great player but an even better man. He dealt with so much nonsense as a player (e.g. his house in Boston being burglarized and vandalized by racists in the 1960s), but took it in stride.

RIP to a legend.

And he was right.

And he was right.

When you've won 11 championships you can say stuff like that.

Great player, great humanitarian, great laugh, first Black head coach/manager in big league sports history.

Great sense of humor, too.

There's nothing I can add to the above, just to echo that President Obama said it best, "Today we lost a giant." And that "we" means everybody. RIP, Mr. Russell.

One of the greatest.

RIP
