He would've turned 88 today.  He's sorely missed.

Nobody will ever approach that resume, and that's without considering his off the court legacy.

To win that consistently...Obviously what he did with the Celtics is astounding.  But the two college championships (including a 1-loss and undefeated season) seem to get overlooked.

Not to mention the '56 gold medal.  He anchored a USA team that still has the largest average margin of victory in the Olympics.  Even more so than the OG Dream Team.
