On the Jim Rome Show, Boston Celtics great, Bill Russell was his guest. Russ was talking about his new book, ‘Red and Me’, which details his relationship with the late Red Auerbach.
Towards the conclusion of the interview, Russell cut Rome off; “I apologize for interrupting you. Can you do me a favor?” Russell said.
Rome was like, “heck yeah, anything for you.”
“When you introduce me, can you please refer to me as the former captain of the Boston Celtics; That means way more to me then any Hall of Fame or other personal title. That was the most important thing for me.”
