NBA Legend and Boston Celtics Great Bill Russell Dead at 88

Bill Russell — one of the greatest and most accomplished NBA players of all time — has died.
The announcement came courtesy of Bill’s own official social media page, which posted Sunday with a sad update. The text says BR passed away peacefully with his wife, Jeannine, by his side. The exact circumstances of his death weren’t discussed further.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Bill’s post goes on to list his many accomplishments, dating back to his high school days. He’d won two state championships on that level, two NCAA titles, a gold medal in the Olympics … and, of course, 11 NBA championship titles with the Boston Celtics — plus two titles with that same organization with him as head coach and a player simultaneously, a historic feat at the time … on several levels, obviously.
His obit here touches on the fact that he was a civil rights activist during his playing time, with boycotts of certain events and public remarks that spoke out against racism and discrimination that was prevalent throughout the U.S. at the time.
Bill is by far one of the GOATs in league history — evidenced in the fact that the current NBA Finals MVP award is named after him … something that was instated in 2009.
He’s been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame twice … once as a player in 1975, and again as a coach just last year. His career is memorable, especially since he broke into the NBA when it was just being expanded as an organization and getting integrated with Black and white players alike, during a time of segregation in the country.
His accolades go well beyond what was mentioned above — Bill has an enormous amount of NBA honors, including several All-Star appearances, NBA First-Team mentions, lifetime achievement awards and on and on. He retired from the sport in 1988, playing for 3 decades.
As you can imagine … the tributes are absolutely pouring in right now. Bill Russell was beloved by just about everyone in and around the league … players, coaches, owners and media members alike. He would come to games quite often, and was very visible in the basketball community.
Arrangements for his memorial and funeral are being made now by the family. Bill is survived by his wife, three children and other extended family. He was 88.
RIP

There was a lot of commotion in the moments after the Las Vegas cyclist was intentionally struck and killed … panic you can hear play out on the 911 call, made by the man’s Apple Watch.
In the audio, obtained by TMZ, you can hear 64-year-old Andreas Probst’s watch letting the 911 operator know he suffered a hard fall and was unresponsive.
What’s more terrifying is the growing panic and chaos that can be heard in the background during the call, the retired police chief was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
That wasn’t the only call from that day, however — remember, cops believe the 2 suspects also hit another cyclist about half an hour before Probst. In that 911 call, you can hear the 72-year-old man tell dispatch the attack was intentional … saying he could’ve been killed.
As we reported, 18-year-old Jesus Ayala, who was 17 at the time of the incidents, is now facing 18 counts, including murder … this after cops say he was the one behind the wheel when Probst was killed.
Footage from the Probst incident was filmed by 16-year-old Jzamir Keys, and it sparked serious outrage after going viral. Officers had a hard time tracking down Keys a month after Probst’s death, but he was eventually located and taken into custody, too.

Officials say Keys was behind the wheel during the non-fatal hit-and-run with the separate cyclist earlier in the day.
Cops say the video shows the hit was intentional … with Keys encouraging Ayala to hit Probst, and the 2 laugh it off as he lies in the street behind them.

The Swifties seemingly rushed to get their Travis Kelce merch after Taylor was spotted supporting her new potential love interest at Sunday’s game … ’cause the Kansas City Chiefs superstar’s jerseys are flying off the shelves!!
TMZ Sports has learned — Kelce’s No. 87 threads were among the most popular items on the NFL Shop on Sunday … this according to Fanatics, the league’s official e-commerce partner.
“Yesterday, Travis Kelce was one of the top 5 selling NFL players and saw a nearly 400% spike in sales throughout the Fanatics network of sites, including NFLShop.com,” Fanatics tells us.
While it’s impossible to tell who exactly made all the purchases, the massive increase in jersey sales comes on the heels of the “Anti-Hero” singer’s visit to Arrowhead Stadium to watch the Chiefs whoop the Bears, 41-10.

So, yeah, it certainly feels like Taylor’s fanbase is ‘shipping’ the duo … and considering how passionate her following is, it wouldn’t be shocking if the Swifties emptied their wallets to secure their new favorite athlete’s jerseys.
Swift seemed right at home with Chiefs Kingdom as she watched the matchup in a suite alongside Kelce’s mom, Donna … despite being a longtime Philadelphia Eagles fan.

9/24/23
Swift and Kelce ended up leaving the stadium together … cruising away in his old-school convertible.
Swifties have gotta be hoping Traylor blossoms into something legit … or there will be a lot of No. 87 jerseys collecting dust.
