Bill Russell's passing was a significant loss for the NBA and its surrounding community.
Bill Russell's impact, nevertheless, goes well beyond the hardwood. His activity won over fans throughout the country as a civil rights activist, which included supporting Muhamad Ali in his decision not to participate in the Vietnam War and joining Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in a march.
Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton are all former presidents.
