Bill Russell autographed 8 x 10” black-and-white photograph depicting an in-game moment with Russell elevating at the basket in his Boston Celtics uniform, #6, contested by Philadelphia 76ers center Wilt Chamberlain. Russell has boldly signed in blue felt tip pen along the upper left area of the image.

The photograph captures one of the most iconic rivalries in NBA history, showcasing Russell and Chamberlain—two titans whose matchups defined professional basketball throughout the late 1950s and 1960s.

Fine condition. The image is authenticated by PSA/DNA, with certification number U35636, affixed to the lower corner and also features a Bill Russell authentic hologram from his agent Rich Altman of Hollywood Collectibles.

Bill Russell (1934–2022) was an 11-time NBA champion with the Boston Celtics and is widely regarded as the greatest defensive player in basketball history. A five-time NBA Most Valuable Player and cornerstone of the Celtics dynasty, Russell revolutionized the game with his rebounding, shot-blocking, and leadership. Beyond basketball, he was a prominent civil rights advocate, making his legacy as significant off the court as it was on it.

A classic signed image pairing Russell with Chamberlain—an essential piece for serious basketball historians and collectors of NBA golden-era memorabilia.
