The post NBA Honors Bill Russell + Jaylen Brown Reacts to Durant Rumors appeared first on CLNS Media.

But it is easy to lose the activism, mentorship, and life experience of the man in lauding the player, and perhaps more than anyone in NBA history, those things were inseparable. Russell was a monumental human being who answered the call for justice at what might have been great personal expense and at great risk, and it would be a disservice to who he was to elevate his identity as a basketball player above the rest of what made him so special.

With that in mind, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast linked up with the New York Times’ Sopan Deb to talk with him about Russell’s legacy as a person and an activist, and how his uncompromising perspective has shaped the wider world of today far beyond the NBA.

Join Justin Quinn, Alex Goldberg, and Cameron Tabatabaie as they remember the Russell that inspired them in more ways than the story 11 rings can tell as we memorialize not only an NBA and Celtics great, but one of the most important figures of the last century.

Among the items sold was the jersey that Russell wore in Game 7 of the 1969 NBA Finals – his last NBA game – which earned him his 11th championship. The jersey sold for more than $1.1 million.

Russell’s first championship ring went for $705,000, and his 1956 Olympic gold medal, sold for $587,500.

All total, the auction featured 429 items Russell accumulated during his pro, college and amateur career which resulted in 11 NBA championships, two NCAA titles and a gold medal at the 1956 Olympic games.

The 87-year-old Russell has pledged some of the proceeds to MENTOR, which connects young people with advisers who can provide them with opportunities they might otherwise miss out on, and to the Boston Celtics United for Social Justice, which fights racial injustice and social inequities in the Greater Boston area.

He invented the blocked shot, chase down block, and many other defensive oriented strategies, so commonly used that they’re often overlooked by today’s NBA.

In 13 seasons with the Boston Celtics (11 as player, 2 as player/coach), Russell won 11 championships, including 8 titles in a row. He’s the first player/coach to win title(s) and the first Head Coach of color in any sport.

In addition to his pro career, Russell won championships/medals as a collegiate (2) and Olympian(1).

During and after his playing career, Russell stood with Muhammed Ali, marched with Martin Luther King, refused to play in the Jim Crow South during segregation. Mr. Russell is widely regarded as a brilliant, intimidating, fair and funny civil rights icon.

Russell, along with Boston Celtics coach/patriarch Red Auerbach, blazed a trail through uncharted waters in sports. The first black starting five. The first black coach, the first black coach to win a title, drafted the first black player (Chuck Cooper). Russell has aged but remains the standard by which all Boston athletes are held measured.

As a man, simply put… he’s a national treasure. Enjoy some of the greatest and rare moments in a life most wouldn’t have been brave enough to live. God Bless the ?G. O. A. T.
