ラッセルの真価は、得点ではなく「チームを勝たせる力」にありました。試合の流れを読む力、味方を鼓舞する声、ディフェンスでの存在感。当時のNBAはハイスコアなオフェンス中心の時代でしたが、ラッセルは“守って勝つバスケットボール”をNBAに根づかせ、ディフェンスをチーム戦略の中心に据えた最初のスーパースターでした。ブロックやディフェンスの統計が公式に記録されていなかった時代でも、ラッセルの影響は映像と証言を通じて伝承されています。2009年にはファイナルMVPが彼の名を冠し、「Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP Award」と改称されました。ちなみに改称後、初めて受賞したのはコービー・ブライアント。ラッセルはまさに“勝者”と呼ばれるにふさわしい選手です。
