Russell, who had a difficult relationship with the media (for reasons stated below), was not present at either event.After retiring as a player, Russell had stints as head coach of the Seattle SuperSonics (1973 to 1977) and Sacramento Kings (1987 to 1988). His time as a coach was lackluster; although he led the struggling SuperSonics into the playoffs for the first time in franchise history, Russell's defensive, team-oriented Celtics mindset did not mesh well with the team. Ironically, coach Lenny Wilkens would later use a similar concept to help the SuperSonics win the title in 1979. Russell's stint with the Kings was considerably worse, his last assignment ending when the Kings went 17-41. Between coaching stints, Russell worked as a color commentator, but he was never comfortable as a broadcaster.Russell also wrote books, usually written as a joint project with a professional writer. These included 1979s Second Wind and 2001s Russell's Rules. After spending several years outside the public eye, Russell rose to prominence again in January 2006, when he convinced Miami Heat superstar center Shaquille O'Neal to bury the hatchet with fellow NBA superstar and former Los Angeles Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant, with whom O'Neal had a bitter public feud.Later that year, on November 17, 2006, the two-time NCAA winner Russell was recognized for his impact on college basketball as a member of the founding class of the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. He was one of five, along with John Wooden, Oscar Robertson, Dean Smith and Dr. James Naismith, selected to represent the inaugural class.Russell on the MVP controversyAn MVP does more than anyone else to help his team win a championship. — Bill Russell.After criticism rained down on the two consecutive MVP given to Steve Nash and a potential third that would have vaulted him into legendary status, Bill Russell made his admiration of Nash public: "I think, on the world stage, he's one of our great athletes in all sports," Russell said. "I'm a big fan. The two MVPs he got, he deserved. Part of the reason that he's so good and so effective is that the guys like playing with him. He creates an atmosphere where they win gamesFirst Mix about him on Youtube

Well if you're going to say he's the "far and away" best defensive center ever, you should factor in that he never faced Jabbar,Shaq, Malone, Olajuwon all 4 in NBA top10 all-time scoring at the center spot. Other centers had it more difficult to be considered best defensive center. Blocked inferior athletes overall compared to later eras, did not play with a 3 pt. line. But definitely man to man defence, and his ability as a help defender Russell was remarkable.

Of course Bill isn't like MJ, he played in the Civil Rights era and endured racism whereas Mike was the Nba media machine darling. Unlike Mike he didn't walk away from the game when winning titles to bat .200, chase hookers and gamble in casinos.

You can't hold the era he played in against him. Even though fundementals were different back then that man helped make many of the fundementals we have in taday's game, he was so dominant in college they widened the free throw lane from ten feet to twelve becuase he got so many boards from missed free throws, and he was also the reason for offensive goaltending, the players you named are great but no player was as dominant for thier time as Russell.

Finally, a classic basketball tribute without a rap soundtrack! I'm not the biggest fan, but these highlights are beautiful to watch.

keinDeutsch - Russell coached the Celtics for 3 years, 1967-1969. They lost the East finals his first year (to Wilt's 76ers). That broke their string of 8 straight titles. They then won the next two titles before Russell retired in 1969.In 1968, they came from behind from a 3-1 deficit in the East finals against Wilt's 76ers and won 3 straight, winning the series in 7 games. Wilt was held to 14 points in game 7 (not his fault, his teammates never got him the ball).

to Fusheng - you're an idiot. Russell blocked a lot of shots in his career besides the block at 0:54... like Wilt's for example.

The Misiek, you forgot the year russel coached the celtics. It was the year Red Auerbach retired. Russel was the player coach. HE made it to the finals, not sure if he won or not. But that could be because he already had the team respect and the team already built, but he did coach them.
