    Does anyone know where I can find these videos or download? I missed it yesterday because of studying. I got the last 10 minutes of Mr. Russell's House. It seemed very interesting.

    Not too sure if there's links online yet. But, if you have NBA TV, I'm sure they'll be replaying it a lot.

    I really enjoyed all of these. Even Bill Simmons couldn't screw up interviewing Bill Russell.

    Mr Russell's house was the best of them all. You did learn something new in all of them but there were alot of interesting things about his days in playing that everyone should love to hear about.

    The Celtics were the first NBA team to start 5 blacks, and also when Russell retired the Lakers owner tried to get him to unretire and join the Lakers, which Bill turned down.

    Bill left the game on his own terms and still had plenty of game left but was content where he was. He said he only played once more after that, and it was with his son. He said he let him score 2 points on him but whipped him 21-2. When his son asked why he let him score 2 on him, he said so you can tell your kids that you scored 2 points on Bill Russell. He didn't even want his jersey retired..Boston pretty much underappreciated them winning those 11 rings and the arenas wouldnt even sell out because of the amount of black players on the team.

    Also he was drafted by San Francisco who was overly racist and he said if he had to play there he would've never played in the NBA.

    Don't want to derail the thread but anybody got links to the one on one with James Harden? I never had a chance to catch it.
