The basketball world is grieving. Legendary NBA basketball player Bill Russell died at the age of 89.
The news about the departure of the American basketball legend was reported by the American journalist Shams Charania.
Russell is one of the best players in NBA history. He spent his entire career in the jersey of the Boston Celtics from 1956 to 1969.
