Bill Russell, was as good as u can get. He understood his role, cause he was BETTER THAN EVRY1. AND coachable, and if needed he could score. He was ahead of his time,, that could deliver. Really good understanding of the game and teammates..
What a great interview this is, he really goes in depth about alot of subjects, with the old Celtics of the 60s, Larry Bird, Magic and Jordan, Len Bias, just a great overall interview.
Sir William Felton Russell - The King Of Basketball & Greatest Of All-Time, is smiling down from the skies and saying "My Green Knights have done it again for the Celtic World Kingdom!". 🏀 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
He’s quoted in one of Russell’s books as getting mad when someone asked how he handled people. Great response- “You don’t handle people. You handle lab rats.” Goes on to talk about building rapport and relationships and respect. He figured it out decades before someone like Phil Jackson.
Lol Red is full of crap @11:20 Russell was eating him up😂😂 Russell was shooting 36% and had less rebounds than Wilt despite playing 6 more minutes. Wilt was shooting 86% And had 7 blocks despite 5 fouls. They went on a run, cut the lead down to 9 from 16. Then wilt get hurt. The Lakers continue the run, then Jerry kept turning the ball over and mel counts couldn't get a rebound of make a shot. If Wilt was in, all they had to do was keep feeding him so Russell would be fouled out.
Some could've, should've are always there to explain why Russell won and Chamberlain lost..Cold fact is excuses and hypothesis can be understood once not in a 9-1 result.. That's pretty much a one sided affair..

Bill Russell &Red Aubach two legends one the great players & coaches of their era so many positive attitudes.
What he said about Len Bias needed to be said and more people need to hear it
Red was the best coach and Upper management person ever.
Red is by himself on the Mt. Rushmore of coaches and executives

Russell is the GOAT. True GOAT.
Allegedly
@@BoosterGoldEarth6 11 rings.
@@BoosterGoldEarth6smh who else in history won 8 straight. Smh
Goat is the best player. He was good if not great but not even close to being the best of all time🤣
It was a different era. They would have never beat Michael Jordans Bulls once.
Red was a very smart man. Great interview
Amazing.
Auerbach:”…because he(Russell) was a man.”
Nuff said.
Whatever that suppose to mean
@@BoosterGoldEarth6 But do we even know what a "man" and a "woman" are anymore?
@@berndtherrenvolk1951 lol
Red Auerbach was one of the greatest coaches and one of the greatest a-holes of all time.
Opinions vary & bobby knight!
Red loved to bait Wilt.
He sure did
no question. and he was known to have said, "let Wilt score 50 pts, but shut down the other 4".
Russell told red to “let sleeping dogs lie”!
This guy. Lol. A victory f u cigar.
Wilt lived his life on his own terms!🎤💥😡
Two words not mentioned in this video: mendy Rudolph!
Wilt averaged 46mpg for his career……not bad for a non team guy!
So the game was over but then they were back in contention lol
Lol Red is full of crap @11:20

Thats the perfect example of someone that feel like they can talk to you any kind of way they want and u cant do nothing or i will sue you
Just call him Brains
You can't test for cocaine. Anyone could be doing it.
If he had called Wilt out of his name Wilt would have beat the snot out of him. And counter sued him back
