Bill Russell

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Jason Evanish mixed on it affiliate
If you love the Boston Celtics or admire an NBA legend who won a staggering 11 championships in his career, this is a fascinating read. In many ways, Russell was an average guy with an incredible talent for basketball. Many of the chapters are about Russell's life: the good, the bad, and the ugly of being an African American in the middle of the 20th century. There's also a great chapter on what made Red Auerbach such a great coach.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
