Passed away at age 86.  5 time champion as a player with the Celtics (including one of the most incredible shots in Finals history), coaching legend, and one of the more colorful characters in NBA history.

Longtime Celtic with his #19 retired in the rafters.  Hall of Fame coach for a bunch of memorable teams.  And seemingly a super nice guy.  He was part of my very earliest Celtics memories from the mid 70?s teams.

Here?s one of my favorite moments from one of the great wins in team history.
