Bill Russell’s name will adorn the prestigious NBA titles. NBA commissioner, David Stern, announced in Phoenix that the award for the Finals MVP will bear the name of the Celtics legendary figure, Bill Russell. David stern also lauded Bill Russell as “one of the greatest players of all time and the ultimate champion” who deserves to lend his name to the “prestigious” NBA award.

Although the award will be named after him, Bill Russell himself had never won the award, because the title never existed till the 1969 season of NBA. The player, however, has accepted this honor. He was graceful but also on the verge of showing his emotions in his speech on this rare honor. It was natural, since the player has recently lost his wife. Bill Russell called this a “bittersweet award” since his “special partner”, his wife, was not by his side then. However, he did not forget to express warm gratitude to his team mates for what is hailed as “one of the proudest moments” of his life. Bill Russell said, “I just lost my special partner. But I wanted to thank my teammates because we played a team game quite well. I accept this for my team, and my team included our coach, Red Auerbach, and all my teammates over the years, which is quite flattering.”
