Bill Russell was a class guy. He worked hard in a very racist town, Boston, not easy. He was even denied membership at the Hyannisport Golf Club due to his height.NOT, it was the 60's and even Kennedy's hangout denied him. He took that pill and continued to excel always instead. More class than any of those mentioned and more for all time. We thank him for his time with us.

In todays modern era, I can only come up with one player, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
