Show Notes
In 1957, rookie Bill Russell led the Boston Celtics to their first NBA title, fulfilling his promise to keep his signature goatee until victory. The thrilling seven-game series against the St. Louis Hawks featured a dramatic putback at the buzzer in game six and a double overtime game seven won by the Celtics. Russells performance, with 19 points and 32 rebounds, earned him the right to shave his goatee, marking the beginning of his eleven-ring career.
