RIP Bill..

Possibly the best to have ever played.

RIP Bill

A true legend. I think he was even a player-coach after Auerbach gave up coaching. He's got to be one of the last player-coaches in a major sport.

Possibly the best to have ever played.

RIP Bill

In my humble opinion, Pistol Pete Maravich was possibly the best that ever played..

Now with Russel, their are 3 up in heaven that were the best to ever play with Kobe Bryant being the other..

Wasn’t Russell the first African American to win a pro championship as a coach?

Yes!

He did a cameo on Miami Vice back in the day...

He was a tad before my time, but I know he was one of the best, wished I could have seen him play.
