look back at russell s incredible career. i took basic skills and eg egotistically speaking, i had the best skills of anyone who played. reporter: and bill russell had the best skills of anyone playing, and he had one thing on his mind winning. one thing that i would love to do is to be back on defense of myself, and have a three-on-one fast break coming to me, because over half of the time i could stop it. i brought defense to a level where it was as important or more important than offense, but my defense was part of the offense. reporter: the 12-time all-star for the boston celtics revolutionized the game with the shot-blocking game, but he put more emphasis on the victories than the individual numbers. if i want to be a team player, i have to disappear sometimes, and be out there without you knowing that i am out there. reporter: he was not only the force on the court, but he took the only scholarship that he was offered to the university of san francisco. h
assault charges, video of the incident there. the 43-year-old man is charged congress with a dangerous weapon. cnn s evan perez is following this and other developments for us. evan, what do you know about the suspect? reporter: jim, we know he was facing, first, a state charge. he was released almost immediately after he was charged with a second-degree assault at the state level and now federal prosecutors have decided to charge him on a federal charge. that charge is for assaulting a member of congress. of course he is running for governor in the state of new york. obviously the justice department looks at this in a different lens. they view this as part of, frankly, a lot of these types of incidents around the country attacking not only trying to threaten members of congress, members of the supreme court, other public officials. there is serious focus on this at the justice department. he is 43 years old. on top of the state charge for which he was immediately released

out of fox like a geiser from time to time and it happened again with the president s covid diagnosis. they never miss an opportunity to distort the truth. our vaccines which were invented two and a half years ago for the original wuhan strain of this virus, are no longer that effective against preventing infection, but, remarkably, they remain remarkably effective against severe illness, death and hospitalization. and that s the truth and the mets message the public should hear. i would love fox to say everyone should be vaccinated and the 22% who are not vaccinated, many of whom watch that network, would do well to get vaccinated now because more than 400 people are dying every single day from this virus. almost alm of them unvaccinated.
if you are unvaccinated, you are ten times more likely to be a case and 20 times more likely to be a fatality. we re still getting data but what we re hearing from hospitals really across the nation, and this is very consistent, is that the vast majority of the children who are being admitted are unvaccinated. reporter: so many people are affected many states are reporting near record highs. maryland hospital officials are calling for a limited emergency declaration. in new york city the fire department has so many out sick they are reminding people to call 911 only in true emergencies. everywhere the drum beat for more testing is growing louder especially with schools reopening next week. testing, testing, testing all the time. so this is what i think we have to do. you re seeing this in new york, in d.c., in as many places as we can. reporter: test shortages have the federal government scrambling to sign a new
