- two NBA championships as the first ever black coach in any North American professional sport
The list goes on and on……. In addition to his greatness as an athlete, he was an equally great person. He was beloved by everyone who knew him and was one of the first and most influential civil rights activists of his time, paving the way for future generations. Bill belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of the greatest athletes of all time.
