I am half way Through this book and i love it. It chronicals Red Auerbach's life as a basketball coach. I recommend it greatly for all Celtics fans. Has great history and is quite funny. I learned alot about the celtics organization through this book. Go get it.

I agree. I love when he talks about how he acquired Bill Russell. He traded a non-basketball organization for one of the greatest players of all time. That might be the single greatest story i have ever heard. i am suprised i have never heard that before

I, too, am half way through.....love it.  I thought I had heard most of the stories but I was wrong....
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift...
   That is why it is called the present.
