Description

Bill  Russell's greatest accomplishment was bringing the Celtics 11 championships in his 13 seasons.   This framed 25 x 21 inch photograph of the legend, surrounded by his championship pennants, says it all.  


Bill Russell was the cornerstone of the Boston Celtics' dynasty of the 1960s, an uncanny shotblocker who revolutionized NBA defensive concepts. A five-time NBA Most Valuable Player and a 12-time All-Star, the angular center amassed 21,620 career rebounds, an average of 22.5 per game and led the league in rebounding four times. He had 51 boards in one game, 49 in two others and a dozen consecutive seasons of 1,000 or more rebounds.
