Basketball fans, it’s time to put a date on your calendar: February 8.
This is, in fact, the date announced by Netflix for the online broadcast of a documentary on the life and career of the legendary Bill Russell.
The former Celtics, 11-time NBA champion, led a life of fighting for equality and social justice in addition to inspiring several generations of NBA stars.
For many, he is the greatest legend in the history of the league despite the incredible aura of Michael Jordan.
A documentary for Russell
Died in 2022 at the age of 88, the documentary comes at the right time to put on the agenda the great influence of Russell on the world of sports.
In two parts, the film by Sam Pollard will cover the complete life of Russell in addition to offering interviews with several big names in the NBA like Steph Curry, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Isiah Thomas.
Moreover, the film was in production before the death of Russell who collaborated closely by offering his personal archives to the production.
If you have one sports movie to watch this winter, in our opinion, this is the one.
