Boston unveils statue of NBA great Bill Russell

Bill Russell returned Friday to see what he had become. He turns out to be bigger than he remembered and harder to elbow off the block.

"I'm almost at a loss for words,'' he said later in the day. "Almost.''

More than 43 years since he led the Celtics to the last of his 11 championships, Russell was recognized with a statue on City Hall Plaza. The idea is for other Boston legends to be honored with more statues over the years ahead, and they'll all be looking up to him.
