1969 Large, double weight photograph of basketball superstar Bill Russell as he lays on a stretcher and was being taken off the court at Boston Garden with an serious injury. Crystal clear and bold, this is the work of famous Sports Illustrated photographer Dick Raphael and it bears his stamp on the back. An emotional and thought provoking image in great shape, this is one of the only images of Russell we have ever seen by a famous photographer and especially powerful in oversized format!
