Published 06/13/2020, 5:32 PM EDT

Bill Russell is one of the greatest players in the history of basketball. The Boston Celtics Legend holds the record for most rings ever with 11 championships. The Center played for Boston in an era when racist trends were prevalent in a city known for its discrimination. It goes without saying that the 86-year-old has seen his fair share of racist acts.

Obviously, when Donald Trump was elected president, Bill Russell wasn’t the happiest person. The Celtics legend has tweeted against the American President many times. His tweets have been critical of Trump’s policies. The most recent of these tweets came on June 13, when Bill wrote about the protests. Bill Russell tweeted about Trump’s attempts to suppress the ongoing protests.

.@realDonaldTrump says he’s done more for Blacks than any other President. Here’s a few – Central Park 5, He suggested shooting protesters & sic dogs on them, using the military to move #BlackLivesMatter protesters for a photo op. Let’s not forget we are “Those sons a bitches”
