Sorry if this has been covered, but I did not see any posts about it. I am a big Russell fan, even talking with my 5-year old son about him as both a Celtics player and a man.

Nice clip on YouTube that NBATv mashed together:

Happy Birthday Bill!

Here's a Tommy Point for the love  :)
Happy birthday, Bill.

I was looking at some Bill Russell quotes for another thread and I came upon this one:

“What's more important than who's going to be the first black manager is who's going to be the first black sports editor of the New York Times.”

Seeing Obama elected president surely must have been such a thrill for Bill. Good video composition, TP for finding it.

Kudos to Bill Russell and the MVP Trophy naming in his honor. 
He is a true living legend, and a great man.

See, this is what we like to hear.
Laker fans are welcome as long as
this is the kind of song they are
singing  ;)

I love the interview...

I think that the 50 cent in the background is disrespectful.

Love that laugh. Bill Russell is one of the brightest and most articulate people I know of. He makes one proud to be a Celtics fan. He's what the Celtics are about.

It was nice of the Big three to give him that huge cake today.
