Bill should've worn ten rings on his fingers as he gave the trophy to Kobe.   :D
Living in Lalaland is tough for a C's fan.

Bill should've asked him "so, what award is named after YOU?".
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Yeah, at first I thought "What the hell is Russell doing here?" but then David Stern talked about the Bill Russell MVP Award and I recalled this story. It's ironic that the first player to win the award named after Bill Russell is the face of the Lakers franchise.

No he didn't, the award was named "Bill Russell" this year only (back in February 2009 I think).

I suppose the "Backdoor" award would be in bad taste -- couldn't cover that one up with a reference to backdoor cuts.
