Celtics Paint Russell's No. 6 on Parquet Floor as Tribute
Honoring a Legend
In memory of the late Bill Russell, the Boston Celtics have painted his iconic No. 6 in the free throw lanes of their parquet floor at TD Garden. The move marks the start of a season-long tribute to the Hall of Famer, who passed away this summer.
A Lasting Legacy
Russell's No. 6 jersey is one of the most recognizable in basketball history, having been worn by the legendary center for 13 seasons with the Celtics. During that time, he helped the team win 11 NBA championships, earning a reputation as one of the greatest players of all time.
The Celtics' decision to paint Russell's number on their court is a fitting tribute to his extraordinary career and impact on the game of basketball. The No. 6 will serve as a constant reminder of his legacy and the indelible mark he left on the team.
