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.

@Punxi
I can honestly say I loved the man.
His accomplishments would easily make him the GOAT as the current generation terms it. Maybe there will be some moments captured of what he did in the media.

@graphite I agree. Hell, I'm not even a basketball fan. But more so a fan of achievement. My fav brand there after however carries with it, humility. 🤷‍♀️
@Punxi Bill was up front and straight up, didn’t accept any BS from anyone
