The more I learn about the Celtics and the City of Boston and how they treated Bill..I can't blame any Black player for not wanting to play in that city
Not the Celtics the city. Red Auerbach and Bill Russell had a bond they trusted each other. Yes Boston had problems with race especially the busing of 74. Don't blame the Celtics.
The Celtics were the first NBA to have a black player, the first to start five black players and the first to have a black coach. When black players were refused service in a Lexington restaurant, the entire team packed up and left. Boston in 2022 and not the Boston of 1970.
@@Gloomy984 But the Facts are..The City of Boston wants the black player for sports and entertainment..But they don't want then as Neighbors and that's what history says. SO STFU

@@Gloomy984 listen the slave masters never had a problem letting the slaves play games and entertain them. That's what the Celtics represent.
@@jayesonmack3108 Silly comments like yours say more about your intellect--and nothing flattering--than the subject under discussion.

Ryan used to be a fantastic writer, but about 20 years again changed drastically to an egotistical jerk.
