Description: The inimitable Bill Russell is universally regarded as the greatest champion in NBA history. Russell took home 11 NBA Finals championships as a player and two as a coach while changing the course of basketball as possibly the greatest defensive player the game will ever see. Sadly, Russell passed away in July 2022, leading to the NBA honoring his legacy by retiring his number "6" league-wide. Russell's legacy as a civil rights activist and trailblazer transcends sport, culminating in his being awarded the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama in 2011. Russell—selected to the NBA's 75th Anniversary team in 2022—was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1975. Presented is a limited-edition (#9/11) Spalding NBA basketball signed by beloved basketball and Civil Rights icon Bill Russel.. Russell has penned his flowing signature in silver marker across one of the basketball's panels, adding several inscriptions of his career accolades, including, "Boston Celtics 1956 1969 11 World Championships," "5 Times MVP," "PPG 15.1," "RPG 22.3," "HOF 1974." Comes with a COA from PSA/DNA (P14746) for signature. Comes with PSA DNA full letter COA. Bag #21 Welcome to Showpieces Sports. We offer the finest in Sports Memorabilia and autographs.
