    As much fun as the documentary is — and it’s a wonderful tribute to its subject — this is a series that is not content to just shut up and dribble. It has a lot to say and, like Bill Russell, it doesn’t care if the viewer finds offense in the truth.

    If you’re a basketball fan, you’re surely familiar with the broad strokes of Bill Russell’s greatness, but if you want the whole story, Bill Russell: Legend is a worthwhile telling of it.

    The best documentaries don’t reduce their subject to the public impression of them but unpack what even fans didn’t know to make them more three-dimensional than a highlight reel. I respected what Bill Russell meant to the NBA before this project. Now I respect what he meant to history.
