Bull Russell: a giant
Being a Celtics fan I was naturally brought to this documentary and I also liked "The last dance" (that was on Netflix as well). First of all they are different things both in terms of length and of the overall structure. It is mainly based on Bill Russell the man, both on the court but especially off the court. After the watch you can tell the great leader he was, something that was the main reason for his unmatched basketball success, and how much he was ready to sacrifice in a difficult historic time. I've always known him for those things but discovering the actual facts raised my fascination for the man even more.
As a basketball fan I was also fascinated by the representation of the 60's NBA. It is often referred as an era of "plumbers" but the documentary shows that in reality they were very skilled and they played a crucial role in the development of the game.
In conclusion I think that this documentary is a great watch, especially for NBA fans. Suggested.
