Okay, so I got curious about Bill Russell’s wives – you know, the basketball legend. I wanted to know more about his personal life, so I did a little digging.

First, I started with a simple search. I just typed “Bill Russell spouse” into the search bar, just to see what would pop up.
The Initial Search
The results were, well, a lot! Many websites listed different names and it got pretty confusing. It was clear I needed to be more focused.
Digging Deeper
So, I refined my search. I looked specifically for articles from reliable sources, like well-known news sites or biographical websites, things that are supposed to check their facts.
- I started paying more attention to the dates mentioned. Marriages and divorces have specific timelines, so that helped.
- I cross-referenced information. If multiple reliable sources said the same thing, it was more likely to be true.
Putting the Pieces Together
It took some time, but I was able to get a basic picture. It seems there’s been some confusion over the years, with different names and some conflicting information.
Eventually, I felt like I had a pretty good understanding, but it wasn’t as straightforward as I initially thought it would be!
It’s tough because you really have to sift through a lot of stuff online, and not everything is accurate, that I have known. It reminded me that you can’t always believe the first thing you read!
