Astounding, that Russell

["Gene Kirkpatrick" <gkir@tjc.tyler.cc.tx.us>]

I can't think of a comparison that comes close to what Bill Russell is
doing for the Celtics.  Not Johnny Unitas returning to coach the Colts
or Baltimore or whoever his team would be, not Butkus revisiting the
Bears nor Staubach signing on to spark the Cowboys--Russell is beyond
whatever superstar means.  He is a true legend.  And still young, it
appears.  At 65 he can fly from Seattle to Boston regularly!!  Does he
use an airplane?

Well, if the young and rich Celtics of Y2K can't get a vision from
Russ, then rice isn't white anymore.  I hope at 65 I can still see my
bigscreen TV and tell the green uniforms from the white.
