Bill Russell

The Boston Public Library has posted a ton of Leslie Jones basketball photos, including a number of Celtics photos, such as this one of Bill Russell at Fenway in September, 1962 and this one of Bob Cousy with the ball in a 1950s game at the Garden against the Knicks:

WBZ reports the Bill Russell statue will be built in City Hall Plaza, just up the steps from the Red Auerbach statue in Faneuil Hall Marketplace.

The Herald reports. The mayor agrees, wants to put it on Causeway Street (but presumably not where it would look like Bobby Orr's about to tackle him).
