Michael Jordan
One fan replied: "What a great, respectful, humble, and moral man. So many don't know how great a player he was and he'd never tell ya. But he'd tell ya what he could to help you, or help others. He deserves a statue."
Magic Johnson
Another fan said: "Bill Russell was the Goat. He was a perennial champion who played with integrity and put team first despite facing numerous obstacles due to his race. He broke down barriers that have led to the NBA being one of the most diverse and successful sports leagues in the world."
Patrick Ewing
One fan replied: "Well stated Patrick, very well stated. When I think of Bill Russell, I think of three words – dignity, integrity, and humility. The NBA and the world lost of the greats."
Paul Pierce
One fan wrote: "Well said, Paul. Thinking of you, the Russell family, and the Celtics family."
Jaylen Brown
One fan wrote: "Sat next to him on a flight as a kid. He asked if I played any sports and I said hockey. We talked about hockey the entire flight. He was so genuine and wonderful Had no idea who he was until my dad picked me up at the airport and asked why Bill Russell was saying goodbye to me."
The Late Kobe Bryant
One fan replied: "I miss Kobe so much!! He was so intelligent and he truly loved to learn....every single day. I am certain he and Bill Russell shared a big hug today when they were reunited up in Heaven."
