I tweeted about this a couple of days ago, but it really deserves more notice. A really neat moment with Celtic legend Bill Russell took place on (of all places) Jim Rome's radio show the other day. Check this out:
Jim Rome: "We're talking to Basketball Hall of Famer Bill Russell, and the book - "
Bill Russell (interupts): "Jim Rome."
Jim Rome: "Yes?"
Bill Russell: "I apologize for interrupting you. Can you do me a favor?"
Jim Rome: "Absolutely. What is it?"
Bill Russell: "When you introduce me, can you please refer to me as the former captain of the Boston Celtics? That means way more to me then any Hall of Fame or other personal title. That was the most important thing for me."
On the show recap when Rome summarized that moment, he finished with "chills".
You can here the interview here.
