McClymonds High in West Oakland celebrated the opening of its newly refurbished basketball gym, the Bill Russell Gymnasium, with notable figures in attendance. Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry spearheaded the event, emphasizing the importance of honoring both McClymonds' rich sports history and the impact of Bill Russell, a legendary alumnus. The gym, refurbished through Under Armour's initiative, serves as a tribute to the school's legacy and the community it supports, highlighted by emotional speeches from Russell's widow, Jeannine Russell, and remarks from various celebrities.
"It's more so about the people that have been nurtured and grown by the spirit of this place from the teachers to the students to the faculty and administration."
"Bill Russell came from this gym and went on to do amazing things, not just for the game of basketball but in life."
