One of the greatest men to ever grace the earth, Bill’s laugh is imprinted in my memory from the Interview Bill Simmons did. I never had the pleasure of watching him sadly but he’ll always be at the top of the mountain.
The fuckin goat.
The best thing about all Russell photos is that you can HEAR him laughing.
And only *slightly* less deserved than the Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded to Rush Limbaugh in 2020.
/s, of course.
🐐
What a moment for both of them. First black president and the first black nba coach

Legend . Celtics fans did him filthy and he couldn’t stand y’all
Pretty awesome.
And also, unfortunately, that former guy awarded Rush Limbaugh the very same on Feb 4, 2020.
