RIP Bill. Legendary person and basketball player.

I live in Oakland and saw him quite a bit. Always willing to give of himself.

He always had such a great peaceful aura around him. Always looked like a genuine, good, person. May he rest in peace, one of basketball’s goats.

RIP Mr Russell. You were a true inspiration to my father, and myself. Even as a Laker fan I admired the way you carried yourself with dignity and class.
