 1957 Topps Bill Russell Rookie #77. Sold for Over $625,000.

Bill Russell played professional basketball between 1956 through 1969 for the Boston Celtics. The Celtics were so dominant during Russell’s career largely due to his analytical defensive style. His career stats include 14,522 points, 21,620 rebounds and 4,100 assists. During Russell’s 13 year basketball career he won 11 championships and holds the record most basketball championships won. He also was on the U.S. basketball Olympics team in 1956 and won a gold medal. President Barack Obama awarded Russell with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011 for his basketball achievements as well as for his efforts in the Civil Rights Movement. Upon retiring from his playing career, Russell coached for the Boston Celtics, Seattle Supersonics and the Sacramento Kings between 1966 and 1988. He has also worked as a color commentator for golf and has written books including the title Second Wind: The Memoirs of an Opinionated Man published in 1979.
