NBA to permanently retire No. 6 of Bill Russell across entire league
Bill Russell’s life and legacy were unlike any other in NBA history: 11-time NBA champion, twice as a player/coach (the first Black head coach in any major American professional sport), someone who changed the game using his athleticism and high IQ on defense, but more important than all that he was a civil rights icon who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. and stood up to racism in Boston and around the nation at the height of the civil rights movement.

Bill Russell obituary
In his 13 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) with the Boston Celtics, Bill Russell, who has died aged 88, won 11 championships, a record unmatched in team sports. But his place as one of the most influential American athletes of the 20th century, behind only Muhammad Ali and perhaps the baseball player Jackie Robinson, is based on more than his implacable will to win, and his intelligence in allying his skills to his teammates’ to facilitate that process.
