    I'm a lifelong Laker Fan...with that being said Bill Russell the man and player I am a huge fan of.
    When Bob Cousey started to cry "we could have done much more to ease his pain" that moment of realization hurts me as a sports fan that Russell moved to Redding Mas and they treated him and his family so poorly. Kids these days need to take note of men like Mr Russell

    Bill Russell was the greatest to ever play the game. The fact that one cant put anyone above him without first tearing him down is testament to that.

    I'm in tears. The world is diminished in so many ways by Bill Russel's passing. An example to all of mankind of how to not just play basketball but how life should be lived. You are loved and will be missed, Sir.

    I didn't realize he just retired out of nowhere.
    he would have definitely won more if he just kept playing.
    42.7 minutes per game in his last season with no drop off in production.
    that's disgusting.

    @InvestBetter. ปีที่แล้ว +2

    His legacy, besides his winning pedigree, should be greatest defensive player ever.
    Whatever he lacked on offense, he made up for on defense.
    Imagine Dennis Rodman, on the Bulls, but Rodman was 6' 10 and could jump out of the building
    Too bad he brought a great winning tradition to a city that, culturally, didn't deserve it

    San Francisco extended that streak to 62 the following year, after Bill retired.
    STILL the second-longest streak in Division I Basketball (behind the Walton gang at UCLA with 88 and AHEAD of Kareem's team at UCLA with 47).

    Listen, Bill Russell was not the first Black American to become a coach. It was John Mclendon , who coached the Cleveland Pipers of the defunct American Basketball Association.

    • @SHYANN99
      @SHYANN99 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Referring to the four major North American sports leagues (NBA, NHL, NFL, MLB), was actually FRITZ POLLARD who was the first black coach for four NFL teams during the 1920s. Most folks don’t consider Pollard as the first because the NFL was in its infancy then.

      He won NBA championships in 1957, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1968, and 1969. It's 11 titles that Bill Russell has won. He and the Celtics lost to Bob Petit and the St. Louis Hawks in six games. And they loss to Wilt Chamberlain and the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA semifinals in 1967.
      ANOTHER FACT: Bill Russell has never averaged less than 20 rebounds per game in any of his playoff career. Never!!!🏀
