Big man kept going for a while. RIP. Legend not just in sports but civil rights.

Even the young NBA players knew who he was and respected him.

Every young player in professional sports should take some time and review his life.
The world beyond basksetball will pay homage to Bill Russell today - and this week.

 

[DallasEast]

One of biggest NBA legends.
A much MUCH larger and best example of humanity outside the sport.

Rest in peace, Mr. Russell.

He was before my time. I never saw him play, but I've heard the stories. He was one of the greatest.

The greatest champion in all of team sports was more than just a great champion and player , he was a great man.

His 11 NBA championships is unmatched along with his 2 NCAA championships and 1 Olympic Gold .

Bill grew up in a time when it was very difficult. He was at the March on Washington in 1963 for the I Have a Dream speech and backed Ali when the boxer refused military draft.

Russell was awarded the Medal of Freedom in 2011.
