A bad man was he.
Mr Bill Russell
RIP to the first GOAT.
RIP to this legend.
Shame, but I guess he wasn't going to be around forever.
Sad news, but he lived a long and fulfilling life and was a better player, person, and icon than anybody could ever reasonably hope for.
May he rest in peace and his family find comfort knowing that he left it all out there on the court and in the world.
A man of great conviction and integrity along with a fighting spirit. Even though he was way before my time I will always remember him as the Godfather of the NBA.
On a sidenote I remember Bill many years ago telling Tim Duncan in an interview that he would want him at his funeral. I wonder if Tim will go to his funeral.
I actually remember him saying that he wanted Tim to be one of his pallbearers.
May god bless him and his family. Thank you Mr.Russell for your impeccable service!!
Another huge loss in the basketball world
Still can't believe Russell's jump was so quick and anticipation so good he could tip his shotblocks upward so he could grab the rebound too. Never seen any other player who could do that.
He helped put the NBA on the map when it was little more than a carnival act.
RIP to a man who had more rings than fingers.
Lord of the Rings. The greatest winner in the history of American sports. And a man of conviction.
RIP to a legend and one of the GOAT’s.
Serious question: how good would he be in today's NBA?
RIP to a great person and an even greater human being
Don’t know , don’t care. Being a decent human being transcends time/era’s; basketball is basketball.
The world is a little bit darker today. We lost a shining light.
Champion on and off the court.....this is his legacy.
He was a fighter, a warrior, a winner, and did so with so much class, dignity, and respect.
RIP Mr. Russell
If he suited up for the season he's in the top 12.
He also made Kyrie Irving cool for a while.
