A legend and great man (both on an off the court). Was a bit moody... and my 3 encounters with him were of the moody side (one time golfing in a four-some with him in Seattle), but I knew to not engage because he likes to keep to himself. Terrific laugh.

As a Boston guy I've been lucky to see the greatest Celtics play. Russell was at the top. He suffered racial discrimination here in Boston and it sometimes made for a less than perfect relationship with the fans. He had a real presence and was a great ambassador for the sport. He'll be missed and as one who idolized him as a kid it will hurt to not see him around.
