Boston Celtics icon Bill Russell to leave valuble memorabilia for next owner of former estate

Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell is selling his longtime home of 50 years in Mercer Island.

Russell, the most decorated player in NBA history, lived at the Seattle-area estate with his wife for nearly 50 years.

The 4,250-square-foot home will also include valuable relics from the Hall-of-Famer's career, per Puget Sound Business Journal.

"I have left behind my trophy case and an autographed ball for the next owner, and I hope they enjoy the home as much as I have over the last almost 50 years," Russell told the Business Journal.
