Bill Russell was my favorite. Cousy retired just before I started following them. Heinsohn right after. Then there was K.C., Sam and his sweet bank shot, sixth man Hondo, rebounding and defensive stalwart Satch Sanders, one handed free throw shooter Don Nelson, Larry Siegfried and so many more. Lying on the living room floor watching games from the Garden on our tiny black and white tv set. The Russell vs Wilt battles were epic.
