Bill Russell Basketball legend passes.

Defined defense in basketball, the basketball court was increased in size because of his dominance. He won 11 championships with the Boston Celtics from 1957 to 1969.
The battles between him and Wilt Chamberlain as Centers were the penultimate of competition between two Giants. He was also involved with the civil rights protests of the 1960s with legends like Muhammad Ali.

He was one of the greatest. More than held his own against Wilt

@JohnnyNoir The first time I remember watching him I was 10 and he had slam dunked the basketball, caught it going down and then handed it to the opposing guard without appearing too showy!
