One of the top players ever!  Also at the forefront of the fight for civil rights/racial equality.  May he rest in peace!

In his career, he played in 23 championship games where the loser went home. His team won all 23!

Are you serious? This is incredible

According to Bob Ryan on yesterday's Red Sox broadcast, this is true. It must include his Celtics career, SF Dons college team, and Olympic team. Unfortunately, he had dementia at the end of his life and never was able to repair a rift he had with Bob Cousy.                                                                                        Review: Cousy the star of Celtics, 'Last Pass' | Book Reviews and News | journalstar.com

Incredibly successful basketball career for Mr. Russell, no one will ever touch his impeccable level of success professionally with the C's.
