Celtics legend Bill Russell died Sunday at the age of 88, his family announced.
"Bill's wife, Jeannine, and his many friends and family thank you for keeping Bill in your prayers.
Perhaps you'll relive one or two of the golden moments he gave us, or recall his trademark laugh as he delighted in explaining the real story behind those moments unfolded," his family said in a statement."And we hope each of us can find a new way to act or speak up with Bill's uncompromising, dignified and always constructive commitment to principle."
