Russell was a great rebounder. He perfected the blocked shot as well where instead of slapping the blocked shot out of bounds he blocked it so he could basically rebound it and take possession.
Russell was the catalyst for the 11 championships including 8 in a row for the Celtics.
One quick story. Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlin were great rivals. But they were also friends. The Celtics played the 76’ers every year around Thanksgiving in Philadelphia.
Wilt would have Russell over where Wilt’s mother would cook Thanksgiving dinner for them. Pretty cool story.
