but i'm glad its today so it overshadows that womens euro soccer final that the media was looking forward to shoving in our faces.
Legit no idea what you're talking about, which begs the question is the media shoving it in your face, or are you seeking it out?

Only team to beat a Bill Russell Celtic team in the NBA Finals was Bob Petit and the St. Louis Hawks in 57.

NBA legend, one of the best ever, and a great human died, and your first thought is to post something about Lebron. Look I get it, the guy has a bunch of faults, but honestly who the hell cares right now, and what does Lebron have to do with Bill Russell? Y’all people will try and make anything about the guy.

22 rebounds a game. That really equates to about an extra 25-30 pts a game for his team

The history of Russell and Boston can be traced back through the construction of two statues 50 years apart. In 1963, Boston built a monument to honor Confederate soldiers. In 2013, Boston unveiled a Russell sculpture outside City Hall.
