Bill Russell was the primary reason that the Celtics dynasty is considered by most basketball fans to be the premier team in NBA history. He was the first and perhaps only player to truly be recognized as great for his defense and team play. His contributions to defense are similar in scope to Jordan's contributions on offense. He was probably the greatest rebounder and shot blocker ever to play the game. He is synonymous with the old Boston Garden and its famous parquet floor. Here is a seat from the storied Garden. It is still attached to a piece of the famed parquet floor and it is signed “Bill Russell # 6". Comes with attached brass plaque of authenticity.
