Bill Russell was one of the first black athletes to clap back at bigots while emphatically denying shots.

I know it’s a little late to talk about the passing of Bill Russell, but I was out camping, alright?

The 11-time champion passed away on July 31, 2022, at the age of 88.

Russell was one of the top centers in the league.
