Russell won 11 NBA titles, five MVP awards and was the first African-American head coach in any U.S. professional sport. He also has \u003ca href=\"http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20821673/bill-russell-takes-knee-presidential-medal-freedom-twitter-photo\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his own\u003c/a> Presidential Medal of Freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And on the baseball team, Robinson shared the diamond with Curt Flood, one of the best center fielders of all time and the reason that professional athletes today can become free agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1970, Flood — a three-time all-star and seven-time Gold Glove winner — challenged what was known as baseball’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/07/how-curt-flood-changed-baseball-and-killed-his-career-in-the-process/241783/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reserve clause\u003c/a>, which prevented a player from signing with another team even after their contract expired.

He said Powles taught him to play the game the “right way,” to always give 100 percent and also how to accept defeat and build from it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“George Powles gave me the foundation I’m still building on,” Robinson told the crowd in Cooperstown, New York. “I want to say to George Powles, ‘Thank you for all the youth of Oakland,’ because I know they appreciate it like I did and still do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/91xAdDDzk1I?t=288\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was just one of those amazing coaches and had a powerful impact on all three of them,” Brekke-Miesner said of Powles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before coming across Powles as teenagers, Brekke-Miesner said young athletes in Oakland like Robinson, Russell and Flood had access to an excellent park and recreation system. Bushrod Park was a haven for baseball stars like Robinson and Flood, and Russell played pick up games on the basketball courts at de Fremery Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brekke-Miesner also pointed to an early 20th century agreement between the city and the school district to put a male and female playground director at every elementary school playground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That experience on the playgrounds of Oakland over the years was typically the first coaching and competitive sports that any kid had in Oakland, and they had that from the time they’re in kindergarten or first grade,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those playgrounds were filled with young, talented kids, many of them whose families were part of the Great Migration of African-American families who moved to Oakland from the South in the first half of the 20th century. Robinson and Flood were both born in Texas, and Russell was born in Louisiana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brekke-Miesner remembers talking to John Brodie, a former MVP quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, who played against Robinson, Russell and Flood when he was at Oakland Tech. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And he said you couldn’t help but get better playing against that level of competition,” Brekke-Miesner said. “So I think that was very significant in the development of Frank Robinson, not just the coaching but the kind of competition he was playing against every day in Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Bushrod Park was a haven for baseball stars like Robinson and Flood, and Russell played pick up games on the basketball courts at de Fremery Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brekke-Miesner also pointed to an early 20th century agreement between the city and the school district to put a male and female playground director at every elementary school playground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That experience on the playgrounds of Oakland over the years was typically the first coaching and competitive sports that any kid had in Oakland, and they had that from the time they’re in kindergarten or first grade,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those playgrounds were filled with young, talented kids, many of them whose families were part of the Great Migration of African-American families who moved to Oakland from the South in the first half of the 20th century. Robinson and Flood were both born in Texas, and Russell was born in Louisiana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brekke-Miesner remembers talking to John Brodie, a former MVP quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, who played against Robinson, Russell and Flood when he was at Oakland Tech. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And he said you couldn’t help but get better playing against that level of competition,” Brekke-Miesner said. “So I think that was very significant in the development of Frank Robinson, not just the coaching but the kind of competition he was playing against every day in Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
