Warmup With the Best
Date: 1960s
At 6-foot-10 and 220 pounds, Bill Russell needed some time to warm up before playing his customary 40-plus minutes each night. This authentic, game-used warmup jacket was worn by Russell in the heyday of the Celtics dynasty of the 1960s. The 12-time All-Star and five-time NBA MVP dominated the league like no player before or since, winning 11 NBA World Championship titles in his 13 seasons.
