You there, on the motorbike! Sell me one of your melons!

11-19-2019 05:01 PMAs a kid and a Lakers fan my most hated sports figures were Red Auerbach, Bob Cousy and Bill Russell in that order.
I became a real Russell fan with the gradual realization that he was a larger than life figure in all respects.
What really sold me was a brief exchange on TV coverage of an international hoops in which the Brazilian coach had benched his star player for a disciplinary infraction. When asked if he would have done the same, Russell laughed and replied, "No, I would have just beat him up and made him play."
