Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell’s greatness has already given a tremendous amount to the sports world, both on and off the basketball court.
Now, the 11-time NBA champion and influential activist wants to share a little bit more.
Russell announced in a tweet Thursday that he is auctioning off a “large portion of his personal collection” from his NBA career as a player and coach as well as his civil rights work.
The Associated Press reported the sale will be conducted by Hunt Auctions, which has overseen auctions of Joe DiMaggio, Roberto Clemente, and Red Sox great Ted Williams.
