Big Bad Bill. The greatest captain of them all. Captain Class Part 4.
Manage episode 421015050 series 3465230
As a young man, he fled the racism of Louisiana. His father could take no more: violence or exile was the next step. He began what at first was an unpromising basketball career before becoming the most inspirational leader in the history of the NBA.
On the final part of The Captain Class, Joe and Dion look at the extraordinary life of Bill Russell. Russell was the man who shaped the Boston Celtics even as he was being racially abused by his own fans. He had no interest in fame or the trappings of celebrity but as a captain he found a higher purpose for himself and his team.
Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.
