RIP, Big man. You're a true legend.

Arguably the best of any and all sports - not to mention by every account the highest quality person as well.

All time great. He will be missed.

RIP OG GOAT! 11 rings! Not even BB will catch him.

Amazing man and career. This loss hurts.

I feel blessed to have seen him play.

Many of you younger fans who didn't see him play don't realize just how great he was. Think of a 6'10" jackrabbit with springs in his legs.

RIP Bill.

I was 10 years old in the 60s. Bill Russell was the Boston Sports figure who i most admired on and off the court, still do this day.

Probably what he did off the court exceeded his greatness on the court. There will NEVER be another Bill Russell. RIP GOAT
Thank you for your inspiration
