Bob,

Great, yet simple, post remembering Russell's birthday

Will always and forever be the greatest Celtic ever, and the greatest winner.
Watching Bill Russell was a joy, you could never leave a game before it was over because you could never count them out as long as Russ was playing.
I saw the Garden empty one night, as we sat watching them losing by 5 points with seven seconds left. This was long before the 3 point shot. Before we could blink they had scored 6 points in five seconds and won the game.

Everyone who left were already on Storrow Drive on their way home listening to Johnny Most going nuts on the radio. We left the Garden that night with a huge smile on our faces!!!
