- William Felton "Bill" Russell (born February 12, 1934) is a retired American professional basketball player who played center for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA). A five-time winner of the NBA Most Valuable Player Award and a twelve-time All-Star, Russell was the centerpiece of the Celtics dynasty that won eleven NBA Championships during Russell's thirteen-year career. Along with Henri Richard of the National Hockey League's Montreal Canadiens, Russell holds the record for the most championships won by an athlete in a North American sports league. Before his professional career, Russell led the University of San Francisco to two consecutive NCAA championships (1955, 1956). He also won a gold medal at the 1956 Summer Olympics as captain of the U.S. national basketball team. Russell is widely considered one of the best players in NBA history. Listed as between 6'9" (2.06 m) and 6'10" (2.08 m), Russell's shot-blocking and man-to-man defense were major reasons for the Celtics' success. He also inspired his teammates to elevate their own defensive play. Russell was equally notable for his rebounding abilities. He led the NBA in rebounds four times, and remains second all-time in both total rebounds and rebounds per game. He is one of just two NBA players (the other being prominent rival Wilt Chamberlain) to have grabbed more than fifty rebounds in a game. Though never the focal point of the Celtics' offense, Russell also scored 14,522 career points and provided effective passing. Playing in the wake of pioneers like Earl Lloyd, Chuck Cooper, and Sweetwater Clifton, Russell was the first African American player to achieve superstar status in the NBA. He also served a three-season (1966–69) stint as player-coach for the Celtics, becoming the first African American NBA coach. Frequent battles with racism left Russell with a long-standing contempt for fans and journalists. When he retired, Russell left Boston with a bitter attitude, although in recent years his relationship with the city has improved. For his accomplishments in the Civil Rights Movement on and off the court, Russell was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama in 2011. Russell is a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. He was selected into NBA 25th Anniversary Team in 1971, into NBA 35th Anniversary Team in 1980 and named as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996, one of only four players that were selected for all three teams. In 2007, he was enshrined in the FIBA Hall of Fame. In 2009, the NBA announced that the NBA Finals MVP trophy would be named the Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award in honor of Russell.

- William Felton Russell dit Bill Russell, né le 12 février 1934 à Monroe, est un joueur de basket-ball professionnel américain qui joue au poste de pivot pour l'équipe des Celtics de Boston en National Basketball Association (NBA) de 1956 à 1969. Sa rivalité avec Wilt Chamberlain est l'une des plus célèbres de l'histoire de la NBA. Cinq fois vainqueur du trophée du meilleur joueur de la NBA et douze fois sélectionné au All Star Game, Bill Russell est la pierre angulaire de l'équipe des Celtics de Boston qui remporte onze titres NBA en treize ans. Avec Henri Richard, le joueur de hockey sur glace des Canadiens de Montréal, il détient le record de titres dans une ligue nord-américaine de sport. Avant de passer professionnel, Russell mène l'équipe de l'université de San Francisco à deux titres nationaux en 1955 et 1956. Il gagne également la médaille d'or aux Jeux olympiques de 1956 en tant que capitaine de l'équipe américaine de basket-ball. Russell est considéré comme un des meilleurs défenseurs de l'histoire de la NBA. Ses qualités au contre et en défense individuelle sont les principales raisons du succès des Celtics. Russell est également reconnu pour ses capacités au rebond. Il est le meilleur rebondeur de la NBA à quatre reprises et capte un total de 21 620 rebonds dans sa carrière. Avec Wilt Chamberlain, il est l'un des deux seuls joueurs de NBA à avoir attrapé plus de cinquante rebonds en un seul match. Bien qu'il n'ait jamais été le leader de l'attaque des Celtics, Russell inscrit 14 522 points dans sa carrière et s'avère efficace dans le jeu de passe. Dans le sillage des pionniers comme Earl Lloyd, Chuck Cooper et Ray Felix, Russell est le premier joueur afro-américain à atteindre le statut de « superstar » dans la ligue. Pendant trois ans, de 1966 à 1969, il endosse également le rôle d'entraîneur-joueur pour les Celtics, devenant par la même occasion le premier afro-américain à entraîner dans une grande ligue américaine de sport. Durant sa carrière, Russell doit souvent faire face au racisme : beaucoup de fans à Boston boudent les Celtics lorsqu'il rejoint l'équipe et la presse locale lui montre peu de soutien. Quand il prend sa retraite, Russell quitte Boston amer même si ses relations avec la ville se sont améliorées au cours des dernières années. Russell est membre du Basketball Hall of Fame depuis 1975, du National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame depuis 2006 et du FIBA Hall of Fame depuis 2007. Il est nommé parmi les meilleurs joueurs du cinquantenaire de la NBA en 1996.
- È ricordato per il suo ruolo centrale nei Boston Celtics che vinsero 11 campionati NBA in 13 stagioni, compresa una striscia di 8 titoli consecutivi. Attualmente, tale record è imbattuto; non solo, Russell è il capitano NBA che ha vinto più titoli con una singola squadra e in assoluto. Il suo maggior contributo a questo sport fu l'innalzamento del gioco difensivo ad un nuovo livello; viene considerato il miglior centro difensivo che abbia mai giocato a pallacanestro. È stato protagonista della cosiddetta "Era della dinastia" dei Celtics, che ripeterono un'epoca di dominio simile solo negli anni ottanta. Nel 1975 fu inserito nella Basketball Hall of Fame, la hall of fame della pallacanestro. Nel 1996 fu scelto come uno dei 50 migliori giocatori del cinquantenario della NBA. Russell detiene tuttora il record per il maggior numero di campionati vinti in una lega nordamericana, con 11; il solo atleta ad aver pareggiato questo record è Henri Richard, stella dell'hockey su ghiaccio NHL con i Montreal Canadiens.
- ウィリアム・フェルトン・ラッセル（William Felton "Bill" Russell、1934年2月12日 - ）は、アメリカ合衆国ルイジアナ州モンロー出身の元バスケットボール選手。身長208cm（206cmとも）、体重102kg。1950年代から60年代にかけてNBAで活躍した伝説的選手であり、ボストン・セルティックスを11回の優勝に導いたことで知られる。恵まれた身体能力と抜群のバスケセンスを武器にリバウンドやブロックショットで才能を発揮し、特にディフェンスの側面では競技に革新的な影響をもたらしたとされ、しばしば歴代最高のディフェンダー、延いては史上最も偉大なバスケットボール選手の一人にあげられる。 サンフランシスコ大学時代に全米大学トーナメント（NCAAトーナメント）を連覇、メルボルンオリンピックでは金メダルを獲得し、NBAファイナルは八連覇を含む11回の優勝と当時のアメリカバスケットボール界の主要タイトルを全て制覇しており、特にNBAファイナルは彼のNBAキャリア13年の間で優勝を逃したのはわずか2回のみで、古今あらゆるNBA選手の中で彼以上にチャンピオンリングを持っている者は存在しない。個人でもNBAオールスターゲーム出場12回、シーズンMVP5回、オールNBAチーム選出11回。ディフェンスに長けた選手だったが、当時は守備関連の賞が充実していなかったためオールディフェンシブチーム選出は1回のみ、またファイナルMVPも彼が引退する年に創設されたため受賞することはなかったが、2009年にはラッセルの功績を讃えてファイナルMVPは彼の名を冠した「ビル ・ラッセル・NBAファイナルMVP賞（Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award）」と改名された。NBA25周年、35周年、50周年に発表されたオールタイムチーム全てに名を連ね、1975年にはバスケットボール殿堂入り、2007年にはFIBAバスケットボール殿堂入りを果たした。背番号『6』はボストン・セルティックスの永久欠番となっている。 現役最後の3年間は選手兼コーチとしてセルティックスを指揮し、現役引退後もシアトル・スーパーソニックス、サクラメント・キングスのヘッドコーチを歴任した。 ラッセルの功績の中で特筆すべき点として、11回の優勝に代表される選手としての功績だけでなく、当時リーグの内外で蔓延していた人種差別に毅然と立ち向かい、アフリカ系アメリカ人選手の地位を向上させた公民権運動家としての功績があげられる。ラッセルは黒人初のNBAスター選手であり、またアメリカ四大メジャースポーツ初の黒人ヘッドコーチだった。一方でラッセルは差別に過剰に反応するあまり地元メディアやファンも攻撃し、ボストンに多くの栄光をもたらしたにもかかわらず、市民や記者とは険悪な関係が長年続いた。

- William Felton "Bill" Russell é um ex-jogador de basquete, que atuava como pivô do Boston Celtics, com a camisa número 6. É lembrado como um dos maiores jogadores da história da NBA. Jogou apenas no Boston Celtics, entre 1956 a 1969, somando um total de 963 partidas e 14.562 pontos. Agraciado cinco vezes com o prêmio de MVP da NBA, e com doze convocações para o All-Star Game, Russell foi o protagonista da dinastia do Celtics que conquistou onze títulos da NBA durante sua carreira de treze anos. Junto com Henri Richard, do Montreal Canadiens da NHL, Russell detém o recorde de maior número de títulos conquistados por um atleta em uma liga esportiva da América do Norte. Antes de sua carreira profissional, Russell levou a Universidade de San Francisco ao bicampeonato da NCAA (1955 e 1956). Também foi medalhista de ouro nas Olimpíadas de 1956 como capitão da equipe masculina de basquetebol dos EUA. Russell é majoritariamente considerado um dos melhores jogadores da história da NBA. Registrado com altura entre 2,06m e 2,08m, o sucesso do Celtics baseou-se em seus tocos e em sua marcação homem-a-homem. Ele também inspirava seus companheiros a aprimorarem suas próprias posturas defensivas. Russell ficou igualmente reconhecido por seu talento nos rebotes. Ele liderou a NBA nesse quesito quatro vezes e amealhou 21.620 rebotes em sua carreira. Só mais um jogador, além dele, pegou mais de cinquenta rebotes em uma partida. Embora nunca tenha sido o principal nome ofensivo do Celtics, Russell também marcou 14.522 pontos na carreira e seus passes eram sempre eficientes. Seguindo os passos de pioneiros como Earl Lloyd, Chuck Cooper e Sweetwater Clifton, Russell foi o primeiro jogador afroamericano a atingir status de superastro na NBA. Também foi, durante três temporadas (1966–69), jogador-treinador do Celtics, tornando-se o primeiro treinador afroamericano da NBA. Lutas frequentes contra o racismo deixaram Russell por muito tempo com um desprezo por torcedores e jornalistas. Ao se aposentar, Russell deixou Boston com um comportamento de amargura, embora sua relação com a cidade tenha melhorado nos últimos anos. Devido às conquistas de Russel no âmbito dos Direitos Civis, dentro e fora da quadra, ele foi agraciado com a Medalha Presidencial da Liberdade por Barack Obama em 2011. Russell integra o Salão da Fama do Basquetebol Naismith Memorial, assim como o brasileiro Oscar Schmidt, e também o Salão da Fama do Basquetebol Universitário. Russell entrou na Seleção do 25º Aniversário da NBA, em 1971, na do 35º, em 1980 e entrou para a lista dos 50 Maiores Jogadores da História da NBA, em 1996.

Em 2009, a NBA divulgou, em homenagem a Russell, que o troféu de MVP das Finais da NBA seria batizado com seu nome.

- ウィリアム・フェルトン・ラッセル（William Felton "Bill" Russell、1934年2月12日 - ）は、アメリカ合衆国ルイジアナ州モンロー出身の元バスケットボール選手。身長208cm（206cmとも）、体重102kg。1950年代から60年代にかけてNBAで活躍した伝説的選手であり、ボストン・セルティックスを11回の優勝に導いたことで知られる。恵まれた身体能力と抜群のバスケセンスを武器にリバウンドやブロックショットで才能を発揮し、特にディフェンスの側面では競技に革新的な影響をもたらしたとされ、しばしば歴代最高のディフェンダー、延いては史上最も偉大なバスケットボール選手の一人にあげられる。 サンフランシスコ大学時代に全米大学トーナメント（NCAAトーナメント）を連覇、メルボルンオリンピックでは金メダルを獲得し、NBAファイナルは八連覇を含む11回の優勝と当時のアメリカバスケットボール界の主要タイトルを全て制覇しており、特にNBAファイナルは彼のNBAキャリア13年の間で優勝を逃したのはわずか2回のみで、古今あらゆるNBA選手の中で彼以上にチャンピオンリングを持っている者は存在しない。個人でもNBAオールスターゲーム出場12回、シーズンMVP5回、オールNBAチーム選出11回。ディフェンスに長けた選手だったが、当時は守備関連の賞が充実していなかったためオールディフェンシブチーム選出は1回のみ、またファイナルMVPも彼が引退する年に創設されたため受賞することはなかったが、2009年にはラッセルの功績を讃えてファイナルMVPは彼の名を冠した「ビル ・ラッセル・NBAファイナルMVP賞（Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award）」と改名された。NBA25周年、35周年、50周年に発表されたオールタイムチーム全てに名を連ね、1975年にはバスケットボール殿堂入り、2007年にはFIBAバスケットボール殿堂入りを果たした。背番号『6』はボストン・セルティックスの永久欠番となっている。 現役最後の3年間は選手兼コーチとしてセルティックスを指揮し、現役引退後もシアトル・スーパーソニックス、サクラメント・キングスのヘッドコーチを歴任した。 ラッセルの功績の中で特筆すべき点として、11回の優勝に代表される選手としての功績だけでなく、当時リーグの内外で蔓延していた人種差別に毅然と立ち向かい、アフリカ系アメリカ人選手の地位を向上させた公民権運動家としての功績があげられる。ラッセルは黒人初のNBAスター選手であり、またアメリカ四大メジャースポーツ初の黒人ヘッドコーチだった。一方でラッセルは差別に過剰に反応するあまり地元メディアやファンも攻撃し、ボストンに多くの栄光をもたらしたにもかかわらず、市民や記者とは険悪な関係が長年続いた。
