What Meeting With Bill Russell Meant To The Seattle Storm
The Seattle Storm met with NBA legend Bill Russell last Thursday while preparing for Game 2 of the first round.
Swin Cash seemed to be the most struck by the meeting, tweeting about it after the meeting last week. An additional quote from her that wasn't posted in the link above:
"It was always just about winning to the point where it was almost a gift and a curse, I guess, because that's all he was just driven about at that point in time...At the end of the day, I've always said that I want people not only to remember me as someone that gave back to the community and was a good basketball player, but that I was a winner. And not a lot people can say that throughout their careers so I hope that I can be able to say that when I get finished playing. "
