Celtic Pride: The Superstar and The Legend

You may have caught this clip of a sit down conversation between Bill Russell and Kevin Garnett during halftime of last night's game.  For those of you that are unfamiliar with Mr. Russell - he only won 11 NBA titles in 13 seasons as a player and coach.  He is truly a living legend and you can see the amazing level of respect these two men have for each other. 

I definitely had goosebumps watching this for the first time last night.  ABC and ESPN are planning to show additional pieces of the conversation as the Celtics continue through the playoffs and I can't wait to see more!

By the way...no disrespect to Ted Williams, but can Bill Russell get a tunnel or bridge or something named after him around here.  We certainly know that decision wasn't based on the number of championships brought to the city!

Thanks for finding that -- I've watched it 5 times so far, gotten chills each time. Amazing.

Bravo Josh. Bill Russell was the man. Not M.J. Bill defined defense in the league. Michael Jordan defined the invisible foul because you couldn't go anywhere near him.
