#2  I saw Bill Russell give a speech at a charity event some years ago. He just radiated leadership. A very impressive guy.

#1  When Keith Jackson & Bill Russell did the NBA games for US TV network ABC in the 1970's, I enjoyed watching basketball then, and those two made a great team.

RIP, Bill. Truly one of the basketball greats.
