Bill Russell - Happy Birthday Big Man

With the possible exception of Dave Matthews, Bill Russell is most likely the celebrity I see the most around Seattle, Washington should be proud that the greatest basketball big man of all time chose to settle in Mercer Island after retirement.  Though I could hardly call the man retired as he seems to pop up everywhere both here and afar.  Perhaps he simply stands out because he towers over everyone in any room he is in?  Regardless I've found myself a wee bit starstruck the 5-6 times I have seen him around, hey he is a legend. Happy Birthday Bill.
