The Louisiana native won a record 11 titles with the Celtics in their heyday, the late 1950s and 1960s, and earned countless accolades over the course of his unrivaled career on the hardwood that is seeing renewed scrutiny after his passing last summer.
The folks behind the Old Skool Bball YouTube channel put together their own homage to Russell’s on-court excellence.
