Bill Russell, the center who won 11 National Basketball Association championships in 13 years as a player and player-coach for the Boston Celtics, died Sunday after a long illness.
Russell was also a civil rights icon, boycotting a 1961 exhibition game to shed light on discrimination and leading Mississippi’s first-ever integrated basketball camp in the wake of the Medgar Evers assassination. He was also the league’s first Black coach.
