Bill Russell RIP

I spent months backpacking around the US whilst attempting to avoid growing up. I landed in Boston in 2002. I fell in love with the city.
Bill Russell defined it and led the game. Ted Williams was aloof and focused. Great article on on The Athletic recently highlighting how BB drew Russell in to inspire his Pats team. When you talk about players who define a sport, if BR isn't included in the conversation, it isn't a conversation. Edit: I don't want to downplay his importance as a man. He was a sporting hero but, dear lord, his efforts as a human. A hugely sad loss. Last edited by jimos_uk; 31-07-2022 at 10:16 PM. |
