Bill Russell – Legend: Storyline
The American Bill Russell was known not only for his great career as a basketball player but also for his actions as a civil rights fighter. Russel helped each of his teams succeed, earning two consecutive NCAA titles, a gold medal at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics and eleven championship titles in his thirteen years with the Boston Celtics. In his last two years, he served as the first black head coach in NBA history.
In addition to his basketball career, Russell was actively involved in the civil rights movement and protested alongside Martin Luther King Jr. He also spoke out about racist practices in the NBA and spoke out against racial segregation. In 2011 he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his courage and commitment.
The documentary provides insights into the life of the basketball legend, some of which come from Russell’s private archives. In addition to the last ever interview with him in 2022, shortly before his death, family members and friends, as well as Steph Curry, Chris Paul, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Jim Brown and others talk about Russell’s unique career in exclusive interviews.
