On this day in 1934, American basketball player Bill Russell, one of the greatest defensive centers in NBA history and the first Black coach of a major professional American sports team (the Boston Celtics), was born. Russell won 11 NBA titles in the 13 seasons that he played with the Boston Celtics including eight consecutive titles from 1959 to 1966. Russell’s head-to-head battles with Wilt Chamberlain were legendary. Russell was a five-time league MVP and 12-time NBA All Star. Russell was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1975 and in 2011 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
