ABSOLUTELY DEAD-SET Assured!! Mate!!!!! Big Billy Russell is the greatest NBA winner ever, and one of the greatest NBA players of All-Time. In between beating the hell out of Wilt Chamberlain every chance he got and stomping all over the NBA like it was my mate Sketchy Tim running into his bookie for 11 rings, he’s the absolute epitome of a dead-set ledge.
Sure, he looks like he gets dressed in the dark, but who else is out there flipping off cameras while people are presenting the NBA Finals MVP award — which is named after him! — and winning 11 titles in 13 years!? Bloody no-one, that’s who.#ONYA Big Bill Russell!
