I remember the SNL skit he did - a reverse "White Shadow" where he was a troubled black HS basketball coach and his white students tried to help him stay straight.
His punch line was: "is it because I'm black"? - a hilarious skit (back when SNL still had talented writers).

Beats the alternative. Wilt Chamberlain btw died in 1999 at the age of 63.

Like watching NASCAR. Round and round with no where to go.

Weird how UTIs make seniors crazy. Same happens with my mom.

"I caught Russell’s NPR call-in radio show a few times some years ago.

Even then the guy was dry as death, only less interesting."

You must have missed something.

Bill Russell was the greatest TEAM winner/player ever."

. . . a scare he says resulted in him not drinking enough water

I suspect it was more than dehydration. Electrolyte imbalance (simply; not enough Gatorade) is another factor. My late father was almost sent to the "psych" ward because his electrolytes were almost depleted by medication.

With the current world conditions I don’t think any of us are drinking enough.
