Sad to hear this news. As discussed just today, he's on the Boston's Mt. Rushmore of athletes. He probably should be on Boston's Mr. Rushmore of people.

Oh no! Terrible news. May he RIP. Once of the greatest Celtics and one of the greatest people, period.

Bill Russell was the reason my dad became a die hard Celtics fan- and by extension, why I’m a die hard to this day. His impact on and off the court will never be forgotten. Let’s get #18 for Bill this season. RIP legend, this is a sad day.

Really sucks, this makes the Finals loss that much worse. It would’ve been nice for Bill to go out as the Celtics champions.
