A stellar human being. A true hero. RIP Mr. Bill Russell
I agree. Although I didn't watch him play during his time, I've always been amazed at how he treats the newer generations in the NBA. I mean he won 11 titles, but I've never seen him declare himself the greatest, nor belittle other players. That takes a special person to stay that humble despite that amount of success.
❤️Bill russell very undeated offensuvw basketball playee
RIP Big Bill. As a Celtics fan this is the time we knew would come but were never going to be prepared to go through.
Bill Russell was an eminent man.
His influence on the sport of Basketball
Was the reason we have our favorite
Players
Legends come and go, but they are never forgotten. Rest easy King 💯
RIP to a legend.
@Lucy Lucy- he was a author! And extremely intelligent.
Now players put out tweets and think they are social activists. He personally went through it and stood tall for his people. True legend on and off the court.
You would’ve hated Russell.
@@sad-azn-boi I’m black so I seriously doubt it 😂😂😂
So you rather them just stay quiet?
@@slimylildude8224 Do more. Why isn’t there a black Nike. Where is the real protests. Like not playing when a Zimmerman gets off. Something
@@D.mo7 While it would be better for today's players to be more than social media activist.
At least they do speak, Kobe and MJ never wanted to ruffle feathers. Now that was bad.
Bill Russell was a champion in all ways. Not just as an 11 time NBA champion. And NBA players today and athletes in all sports would be very well served to see what a gentleman and humble man Mr. Bill Russell was and learn from his example. R.I.P. Bill Russell. 🏀
What a beautiful man!
We all need to take note of how be a good human being. Well done.
Rest in Heavenly Peace to a Boston Legend 🏀🕯🙏🏽🙏🏽
Deepest condolences to the family, friends and fans of Bill Russell!!
A great giant of a man who walked this way and left an indelible imprint!!
Rest Easy in Eternal Peace and Power, King!!🙏🏾💐🖤💯
Great, Great, Great Man: Bill Russell
Rip Bill Russell legend of Celtics and NBA 🏀💫🕊☁️
we love you big fella
thank you for being a gift to humanity
May Bill Russell rest in peace. And may his loved ones each be comforted and healed.
May we all take heed of all the true human being heroes and heroines on whose shoulders we stand. God bless you Mr. Russell. Rest in Peace and thank you for me and my children.
God bless you Bill Russell for being one of the sparks for yesterday into today 👍👍💖💖.
RIP to the real basketball GOAT. Without Bill Russell, there would be no Magic, Jordan, LeBron, Curry, etc. You will be missed!
I'm am forever grateful that I had the pleasure of attending the same high school as Russell. I was class of 79 at mcclymonds high school in west Oakland and I'll never forget those times entering the gym for gym class, and always seeing the pictures of a 17 year old Russell playing at mack in the 50's. Frank Robinson and vada pi son too. Mcclymonds was named the school of champions because of bill .
Very well said at the end💯
He was great on the court but better off...he stood up for what he believed in at a time when that was easier said than done.
He’s in our hearts
I founded out why he died
He died of old age
R.I.P To A NBA Legend
Mr Bill Russell R.I.P we all love you 😍 ❤️
RIP Legend!
Rest In Peace Mr. Russell. A good human being.
Lot of cherries in Boston . . . so young and willing.
am not a boston celtics fan in fact am a lakers fan but i did admired Bill Russell so yeah RIP Russell ☹️🙁😭😭🙁☹️😭😭😭
THE greatest winner in pro sports period. Class Act( R.I.P.. )
He was a rider and a legend. These issues we still face today. Loved on the court and hated in society and this man stood tall in an era where America openly practiced hate. RIP to a legand!
To live in a world where a large part of the conversation before,during and after the life of righteous and no excuses human being is the color of his skin and his contributions despite the obstacles. sobering still
He open too many doors for the little amount of keys they gave black men in those times💯🙏🏾
Powerful statement VonnE Gaming…Jah’s blessings to you and your family always…
Rest Easy to this guy 11 rings
AMEN 🙏 RIP MY BELOVED BROTHER MISSING BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN AMEN 🙏🌻💜🇩🇴🇨🇮🇮🇹🇺🇸
R.I.H Bill Russell🙏🏽🙏🏽
He did really good at commentating games in the 80s. Goodbye bill, you were an icon.
That man faced so much Racism, One of the strongest men to ever walk this earth💯 R.I.P. to the true Goat, Bill Russell
Rest in peace Mr Russell🏆
RUSSELL WAS A ICON
R.I.P. MR NBA BR
Rest In Power Bill Russell 🏀
I don’t like CBS or any mainstream media, but this anchor is right about players not doing anything about injustice. When at this time it is needed just as much as back then. Most just take the money and stay quiet.
Bill Russell may be gone, But he will never be forgotten.
I'm happy that this Celtics team already claimed Banner 18 for him.
respect
60's and 70's best Basketball, Players ever..
ABA and NBA...
Wow- its hard enough being 87, 88 yrs old as a normal size person, can imagine the extra burden of being 6'10 - 6'11".....
Boston loved to see Bill Russell play, but it didn't love Bill Russell. He built his legacy of greatness in a city that didn't deserve him.
14 championships; enough said. Saw him play in the '60s, a great memory. He defines (as Aretha sings) R E S P E C T.
Thank you Mr Russell for all of your help with black equality
A giant among men and a true credit to us, as Black Americans.
Long live the king 🤴 he was the true goat 🐐
R.I.P
Winning championships was his primary focus not being the high scorer.
wintodayyou ...Correct!
I want Morgan Freeman to play him in a movie
😆 what he's 80
Victor ...Morgan Freeman is too short.
You are telling the truth. Like you said the new player don't stand up making millions of dollars like Mr Bill Russell he didn't make millions of dollars. He made the way for the new comers
Players need to step up their game CIVIL RIGHTS, BECAUSE OF HIM, MADE IT EASIER FOR THEM TO BECOME WHO THEY ARE ALL SHOULD DONATE THEIR MONEY AND TIME TO SUPPORT HIS LEGACY INSTEAD OF ALL THAT MATERIALISTIC STUFF THAT WILL NOT OUT LIVE THE LEGACY THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT
What I feel bad about is that the warriors beat the Celtics and now a Celtic legend dies😢
yeah. i thought that too...he kept track of the celtics for...63 years. if anyone deserves eternal reward, he does.
From God we come and two God we must return
Sheep
@@Radowitzki what.? and you don't know. from God we come and two God we must return
Do your homework before an interview, it shows that the interviewers didn’t pay enough respect to the man
What he say wrong?
When Boston land Great athletes out of Louisiana, history shows n.b.a. championships are soon to follow , e.g. Glen 'big baby" Davis, Robert "chief" Parish, and The greatest n.b.a. champion of all time.
Notwithstanding, on a more serious note.
The Legendary. Bill Russell :
What a remarkable human being whose name symbolize Perseverance, Tenacity, and Integrity on and off the court.
An example of what every "man" should aspire to be.
Bold and Intrepidly speaking out against Racism and Bigotry; even if it meant facing the possibility of losing financial wealth, Fame, livelihood, or even your life itself.
Unselfishly gave of himself as a player and as a citizen; in order than everyone could have a chance to win.
Undoubtedly , The greatest Champion the sports world has ever witnessed.
R.I.P. Champ
He is the greatest human that play the game of basketball , But , He denied himself being call a basketball player!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Heavy Gratitude
Ps Peace to Elgin Baylor (best player to not win a ring) and Bill Russell (greatest champion, ever).
Pps Peace to Bill's older brother Charlie Russell (amazing writer)
Rip
It was only for him Short Blocking became an Art!
Lord of the Rings RIP 🐐☘️
I just don't understand why someone hates someone else because of there skin color especially us blacks not trying to be racist if we did according to what GOD says to do (working together) can you amaging if all people work together and got along what we all can accomplish as people GOD would be very proud of us every color
Well, since God is a made up entity in all organized religion, why not just us humans not fight anymore and cooperate without a reward to gain. Now that would be 'heavenly'.
@@tom7471 what you mean he's made up
So the media of yesterday was just as ignorant as the media of today..
We haven't come very far..
I remember my Dad telling how bad Boston people treated him and his family just because of the color of his skin (whyte people ) jeez
John Edgar Wideman wrote about my dad protecting him in Mellon Park in Pittsburgh in Brothers and Keepers. There was an excerpt in Sports Illustrated at the time I was a cadet at West Point where I met my fair skinned African American husband. Although my dad literally had a familiar demon, I visited him in prison while in med school. He was one of few who did not mention the issue of race when speaking of my husband at the time. Wideman addressed him as Reds in his book. Because my dad shot and killed my mom, we ended up in the projects primarily surrounded by blacks and I remember MLK's I have a dream speech being shown at assemblies every year at Roger's Elementary. I came to judge by character and not skin color. My ex husband was Jewish and I hadn't understood who Jesus was growing up and in a foster home in high school did not want to rock the boat asking questions that might upset my foster parents. I will tell you Martin Luther King Jr got his strength by knowing Jesus as Lord and savior which I have only come to know fully in the last few years. I hope Bill Russell knew Christ Jesus, begotten of the Father, before he passed. I am saddened when people confess to be Christians but yet will not publicly give glory to the King of Kings. We live in age of great deception. I hope all black men from that older generation find everlasting peace.
Religion is the most brutal activity men has created on earth. It is the work of demons. No truly serious human would deign to partake in such evil nonsense.
Bill Russell marched alongside MLK on their March on Washington in 1963 while JFK stayed at home in his "White" House.
It's the morning or eve ning of a whole day for you or a player to watch use ,his ,hands or only five fingers to play defense or get the ball of his physics to play the game. Whos really better...of him.
This guys used to play in chucks!! Lol does shoes hurt lol
THE GOAT.......BR...lol
He always destroyed wilt chamberlain in games.
Imagine Michael Jordan took those reigns years ago….but, nah! Still do you, I guess!
Wow he didn't play because some of the players on the team were going to have a separate meal. You would of think the entire team would of ate together.. by the way he didn't like Bob Cousy.. He was a racist and he did Oscar Robinson wrong... know your history...
lol
Know the entire story of life back then, bub. Though no one is perfect, your comment shows how far from it you are.
Dannon green bob Cousy was not a racist u bozo
Kyrie did that and he dragged through the media
Comparing Kyrie to Bill Russell is insulting. Kyrie is a self-involved jack***. It's easier to make yourself a martyr when your contract is guaranteed and you're still drawing a check from the league.
Comparing Kyrie to Bill is an insult.
Shakir Khan ...No, he didn't, either!!!
@@apiotales ...Absolutely!!!
What a truly ridiculous comparison. They are opposites. One (Russell) was intelligent, decent, caring, dignified. The other (Kyrie) is so self involved, arrogant, narcissistic, a cancer on all teams.
Another Celtic down. Many more to go. Bye bye 😅😅😅
What a weird thing to say.
@@tom7471 what a weird thing to say to my comment.......
Imagine wanting people to die because of a sport...
@@randomyeatfan4509 Did i say I WANTED him to die??? Nope. He did though. Another Celtic gone. Boo hoo....😅😅😅😅😅
