The C. O. W. S. Bill Russell's Second Wind Part 4 #TheMightyTelevision #SportsBetting

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 4th study session on the late Bill Russell's 1979 publication, Second Wind: The Memoirs of an Opinionated Man. Russell passed away on July 31st of this year at the age of 88. The NBA titan won eleven championships and an Olympic gold medal, and was elected to the basketball Hall of Fame. Russell is second only to his contemporary Wilt Chamberlain in all time NBA rebounds. The Louisiana native is also credited with being the first black head coach in the National Basketball Association. Last week, Russell detailed his high school travels up and down the west coast and into Canada playing basketball. Their racially mixed team bucked the basketball authority of the time by shooting jump shots and jumping on defense to black opponents' shots. Defense in general and shot-blocking specifically was not valued, taught, or even recorded at the time. The young prodigy said White coaches branded their style of play "n!@@#rball" and frequently accused he and his teammates of cheating. Importantly, Russell invested a great care detailing how he would use his brain computer to visualize basketball plays. Imaging himself dominating on the hardwood became a key cerebral element of Russell's basketball supremacy. #BlackSelfRespect #HarlemGlobetrotters #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
