[@davidsolomon7966]

This is at a time when Red Aurbach did everything for the Boston Celtics. Literally. He drove the team bus , did the team's laundry, collected the money from the fans at the door, and anything else you can think of. They had a practice jersey and a game jersey, but only one pair of shorts they wore for both practice and games. True pioneers of their era and their sport.

[@pappy374]

It breaks my heart to know that when the Celtics sent out a questionnaire asking why more people weren't attending their games that about 60% of the responses were "too many negroes on the team". Heck, Russell had Celtic fans break into his room and take a crap on his bed.

Bill Russell’s stuff belongs in a museum. The NBA prides itself in being progressive and socially conscious - this is another opportunity to prove it. I feel the NBA or the Celtics organization should donate whatever amount Mr. Russell needs for his cause and either let him keep his memorabilia or put it in a museum. Failing that, maybe the dozens of self proclaimed conscious players in the game today making thousands times more money that Bill ever did can come together and do this for Bill
