Red

I didn't really want to blog about Red Auerbach, mostly out of respect. He integrated basketball. He won 9 titles. He had nearly 1000 wins. As a coach. He had a hand in all 16 celtic championships. From integration, to his subtle hand behind the scenes during the Larry Bird years, Red changed not just basketball, but all of sports. It's hard to imagine what influence he had on all of sports, but it was tremendous. Maybe it's indirect, but he's the reason why my dad and I are such big basketball fans.

He will be sorely missed.

WOOOOO!!!!!


WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
