Finals MVP Named After Bill Russell

Published by basketballpeon at 2:52 am under Off Court Edit This

Congratulations Bill Russell, who holds the record for NBA Championships during that legendary run that made the Celtics a household name, found out today that the finals MVP award will be named after him.  A great honor, for a great man, who avoided the spotlight and gave much credit to his teammates; truly a class act.  His story he told Cheryl Miller before the Haier Shooting Stars was pretty touching, how his wife took David Sterns secret to the grave.

I know the picture above makes him look like a ring monger, much like Golem from Lord of the Rings, but oh well.
