Former Boston Celtics center won 11 NBA championships in 13 years

Bill Russell, the former Boston Celtics center, just listed his home outside Seattle for $2.6 million.

Russell, who played in the NBA from 1956 to 1969, played a major role in winning 11 NBA championships. He’s a five-time MVP and 12-time All-Star whose style of play made an impact on the game beyond his career.

His home is located in a quiet, lush neighborhood on Mercer Island, a wealthy community on Lake Washington connected to Seattle by a bridge.

The 4,250-square-foot updated Mid-Century Modern home includes four bedrooms, two full baths and two half-baths, according to the listing.
