It is a known fact Boston Celtics Hall of Fame big man Bill Russell did not get the love he deserved while winning championships for the Celtics as a player or a coach. While leading the team to 11 championships, he was not met with sold-out stadiums. Instead, Russell had to deal with the cruelty of racism on and off the court.
Now, the NBA Finals MVP honor is named after the Hall of Famer. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and many players have shared the influence Russell had on them.
Although, when ranking the NBA top 10 best players of all time, the player with the most championship is not even cemented in many lists. Does Bill Russell get enough respect?
