Prayers for Bill Russell, he just collapsed on stage while speaking to our company. #shocked

Russell was apparently giving a speech on stage to a company at Lake Tahoe. I hope everything is okay.

thanks for the news, even if it is extremely sad.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

I love it when random dudes pretend to be insiders (see his previous tweet on the issue: "per my sources", etc...

@ESPNBoston he was conscious when he left via ambulance. That is all I know at this time. I'll let you know if I hear anything else.

ESPN has had an article up for a few hours now that says:

The Hall of Fame center is "feeling better," the Celtics said, and is expected to fly back to his Seattle-area home as early as Thursday night.
