This week the sporting world lost a hero. Bill Russell, basketball legend and civil rights activist, passed away at the age of 88. An 11-time NBA champion with the Boston Celtics, Russell was an inspiration to many, including fellow basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Kareem speaks with Walter Isaacson about the man he called a friend, mentor, and role model.
