Thank you to the . for this beautiful tribute to Daddy. My brother Jacob and his grandchildren have been deeply touched by outpouring of love. Dad loved to say that his blood ran green. He loved being the Captain of the Boston Celtics!

Growing up in Oakland California Bill Russell Inspired me to be a leader on and off the court, how to face adversity head on as he did countless times in his life time. I just want to say thank you Mr. Russell for giving a young foster care kid hope and belief.

Today, we lost a giant.
As tall as Bill Russell stood, his legacy rises far higher—both as a player and as a person.
