Love old school people will power and perseverance

Thank God for Bill Russell. What a shame that he and fellow classmates were treated so badly. But he was and is brilliant. That's why I call him "the Professor". And what a wonderful speech he gave when he went back, still as a college player, and told the kids they didn't have to listen to the naysayers. Well done, Professor Russell, well done!

what a great story-teller.

Another amazing story

He always has a chuckle from something he said whenever he is interviewed. Sometimes a lot of chuckles.

Bill Russell was told he would flunk out of USF? This is Bill Russell. I'd trust his brain for anything. This isn't JR Smith

I went to USF for 1.5 years then transferred to U.C. Berkeley and graduated there. Russell was right. USF was a first rate college. I could not get an A in Chemistry 1A from USF but I got an A in Chemistry 1B from U.C. Berkeley!
