ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
The centerpiece in which the legendary Boston Celtics Dynasty was built, Bill Russell changed the way the game was played through his incredible athleticism and defensive prowess. Presented is a pair of his green satin game used shorts worn during the final, but no less dominant, years of his career. They are trimmed with a white knit along the sideseam and hem, and own an elastic and drawstring waistband. Inside that band is a manufacturer's tag from Wilson, along with a handwritten "38 +1 1/2" Rise" size flag tag, and a matching green knit swatch chain-stitched with his number "6" in white. An remarkable relic from one of the most significant players in the history of the sport.
