William Felton Russell (born February 12, 1934) is an American retired professional basketball player.
 Russell played center for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA) from 1956 to 1969.
 A five-time NBA Most Valuable Player and a twelve-time All-Star, he was the centerpiece of the Celtics dynasty, winning eleven NBA championships during his thirteen-year career.
 Russell holds the record for the most championships won by an athlete in a North American sports league (tied with Henri Richard of the National Hockey League).
 Before his professional career, Russell led the University of San Francisco to two consecutive NCAA championships (1955, 1956), and he captained the gold-medal winning U.S. national basketball team at the 1956 Summer Olympics.
The 1973–74 Seattle SuperSonics season was the 7th season of the Seattle SuperSonics in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
 Following the resignation of Lenny Wilkens as a head coach after the 1971–72 season and a poor campaign in the 1972–73 season that saw the departure of general manager Bob Houbregs, the Sonics hired Boston Celtics' stalwart Bill Russell as head coach and general manager.
 With Russell at the helm, the team finished in 6th place in the Western Conference with a 36–46 record.

 The results were dramatic as the Celtics, who had averaged over 60 wins per season thus far in the 1980s, fell to just 42 wins in this season.
 Coming into the season, the Celtics had been the Eastern Conference's #1 seed five years in a row.
 This season they were the #8 seed, clinching a playoff spot in the season's final game.
 This season included some bright spots, particularly the emergence of guard Reggie Lewis, who had been only a minimal bench contributor in his rookie season of 1987-88, but averaged nearly 20 points per game as a starter in 1988-89.
