‘They’re Going to Let You Down’: NBA Fans Drop Stinging Reality Check About Jayson Tatum’s Celtics on Legendary Bill Russell

All-time great Bill Russell is the greatest Boston Celtics player ever. He led the Celtics to win 11 NBA Championships, a record that still stands and probably will never be broken. And the mind-boggling fact is, he did that in just 13 seasons with the team.

Just a few days ago, the Celtics were on top of the world. They were up 2-1 against the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals with game four in TD Garden. Now, in a span of two games, they find themselves down 3-2 and facing elimination.

Former player and coach Bill Russell recently posted a picture of himself on Twitter to show his support.

But the Celtics lost the game 104-94 to the Warriors. The series now shifts back to Boston with the Celtics facing elimination on the home court.

Bill Russell – The Greatest Celtic ever

It showed him all ready for the game-5 of the NBA Finals wearing the iconic #6 Celtics jersey. NBA Fans had various reactions to Mr. Russell’s tweet. Look at some of the reactions below:

The St. Louis Hawks selected Mr.Bill Russell as the second overall pick in the 1956 NBA Draft. But on a draft-day trade, then Celtics coach Red Auerbach traded for Mr. Rusell and gave 6-time NBA All-Star Ed Macauley and Cliff Hagan to the Hawks. This would go down as one of the best draft-day trades in modern American sports history.

Mr.11 Rings was a Celtic for the entirety of his career. The Celtics legend was a five-time NBA Most Valuable Player and a 12-time NBA All-Star. He was the centerpiece of the Celtics dynasty. For most of his career, Russell and his perennial opponent Wilt Chamberlain were close friends, even though they faced each other in the NBA Finals regularly. He would be hopeful that the Celtics can turn it around in the next game.

While the Celtics are down 3-2 in the series heading home, they have the talent to fight back. For that, Jayson Tatum needs to rediscover his scoring touch, and the team needs to cut down its turnovers. While the Warriors will look to finish it, the Celtics will give everything to push this series to a winner takes all game-7.

Do you think the Celtics can win the next game?
