Bill Russell’s legacy is built on his basketball talents and his ability to flip anyone off on any stage. He’s turned himself into a walking meme on similar levels to Klay Thompson, and it’s truly inspiring. He’s 84 years old!
At Summer League on Wednesday, he turned his middle finger on Vince Carter.
This is his brand now!

Oh?

And never forget the original, flipping off Chauncey Billups:
Bless you, Bill Russell. Especially for that one time you told five Hall of Famers you’d kick their ass. Keep being real.
