Bill Russell won the NBA Finals MVP award four times during his career. However, it's important to note that the Finals MVP award was not established until 1969, which was the last year of his playing career. Therefore, he did not officially win any Finals MVPs during his time, despite being widely regarded as one of the greatest players in NBA history.
