Bill Russell won eleven championships in thirteen seasons as the heart of the greatest dynasty in basketball history. He was a dynamic champion on the court whose impact forever changed the game. Off the court, his presence was even more impactful as he endeavored to fight for equality and social justice.
Bill Russell revolutionized the way basketball was played. A dominant defender and rebounder, he transformed blocking shots into an art form, turning defense into a fast-break weapon. His unselfish style of play redefined what it meant to be a star, prioritizing teamwork and strategy over individual stats. For Russell, the game was about more than personal glory. It was about the principles that made winning meaningful.
A fearless advocate for equality, he was a vocal leader off the court, standing with civil rights icons like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Muhammad Ali.
The Blackwing 11 is Blackwing's tribute to Bill Russell and his undeniable legacy.
The number 11 foil stamped on each pencil represents the number of championships he won, more than any player in NBA history.
The design features a green and black color way with his iconic #6 wrapped around the barrel along with a black ferrule, green eraser, and a soft graphite core.
