Everyone will tell you that the most exciting thing in sports is Game 7. Which is probably true for 99% of the population. If you’re 11-time NBA Champion Bill Russell, its no biggie.

The Boston Celtics legend was in Miami to watch the Miami Heat defeat the San Antonio Spurs in Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals. Russell was there to hand out the Finals MVP award which is named in his honor but seemed tired in the 3rd period when the cameras caught him yawning.

I’m just completely mesmerized by this. I think its the buildup to the yawn and the eyebrow raise after that makes me laugh the hardest.

In fairness to Russell, I feel asleep way before this.
