Had to pop in to pay respects to Mr Russell RIP to the great one.

Really wish we could’ve came through for him in the finals.

A legend lost. The Finals loss stings even harder, that he couldn't have seen us win one more. RIP

I'm sorry for your loss. It's impossible to understand how much it hurts to lose your mom, until it happens. Feels like a piece of you is just gone.

Man. His smile. and that laugh too. He's gotta have one of the best smiles of all time. You see Bill smile and it just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, at least that's what happens to me

Wish Bill could have seen the C's get 1 more title, but we have to win it this year now. Every team will be wearing a Russell patch and every arena will have his number by the scorers table.

Great news. Should have been done right after MLB retired 42.

Excellent news.

If anyone has anything negative to say about it, ban hammer.

I don't agree with retiring numbers, either by leagues or teams. But if anyone deserved such an award, it would be Russell.

Well deserved. Let's hope that the Lakers, raptors, heat and 76ers have to hang a number 6 Celtics jersey in their arenas.
