1961 Fleer #38 Bill Russell BVG 8.5 NM-MT+
PACK-FRESH RUSSELL!!! Even after some of the greatest centers in NBA history came and went through the 1980s, '90s & 2000s like Abdul Jabbar, O'Neal, Robinson, Olajuwon and Ewing, Bill Russell continues to be widely regarded as the greatest there ever was to play the position. Bill Russell was the most dominant center of his era until Wilt Chamberlain emerged in 1959, but he was still the king. From 1958 to 1965, Russell won five NBA MVP Awards, one more than Chamberlain when they retired. But his most extraordinary statistic is that he won 11 NBA championships with the Boston Celtics and he and Henri Richard, of the Montreal Canadiens, are the only two North American athletes with as many titles. He even led the University of San Francisco to two consecutive NCAA championships in 1955 and 1956. Boasting pack-fresh qualities, this 1961 Fleer #38 Russell BVG 8.5 NM-MT+ highlights include a sparkling Russell portrait image, bright white borders, pinpoint corners, and impeccable surfaces!
