Bill Russell takes a man-sized yawn (GIF)

Bill Russell is 79 years old, so don’t mind him if the old man gets a little sleepy during Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

There he was, the former Boston Celtics legend, taking a giant yawn towards the end of the third quarter of the game. Hey, it was around 11:00 p.m. at the time, who can blame him? I’m less than half his age and had to nap before this game. But let’s not forget the important lesson here: when the NBA Finals MVP trophy is named after you, you can do whatever you want.

If you enjoyed the GIF above, then you will enjoy the image below:
