Re: Red Auerbach dead.
Under Red's leadership the Celtics were the first NBA team to put five black players on the court at the same time, the first team with a black coach (Russell), and the first team with a black GM (KC). No one thinks any of that is unusual in 2006, but in the 50's and 60's it was revolutionary.
RIP, Red. You were a great coach and a great man.

Re: Red Auerbach dead.
Just tell me when and where they bury Al Davis. I'll drink a six pack and stand over his grave and let nature take its course. But getting back to that other hump, Red, lighting up a stoggie when you win is like grabbing your crotch, it was disrespectful and classless. No air conditioning in the vistor's locker, no running water for showers, etc. is just bullshit. Great and talented players like Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and, yes, even Wilt and Mikan, didn't deserve that treatment. At the time, Red would sneer and tell them that they were "sore losers." Where's the stoggie now, Red? Where's your beloved dynasty? Does anyone have a light?

Re: Red Auerbach dead.
Have you guys ever realized that his name is pronounced hour-back and he passed away on day light savings?

Re: Red Auerbach dead.
Got to see ESPN Outside the Lines show on Red Auerbach this morning. I knew about all of his Championship seasons as Celtic's head coach, but learned much more about him as a person and a man. Very impressive!

Re: Red Auerbach dead.
Celtics are going to have a nice patch to honor Red this season. I wish it was a lit cigar. I never knew he actually smoked a cigar at the end of a game while on the bench. Would be cool to see a few coaches do this as a tribute. Probally a fire code, but what the hell......RIP Red.

Re: Red Auerbach dead.
You add the Minn. Lakers Championships to the LA Lakers' and, include a couple of new ones in the next few years with Kobe, Bynum, et. al. and then do the math. The "Celtic dynasty" is in the coffin with Red. Pass the stoggie, my friend, Boston was lucky for a few years, but, God is definitely a Laker fan, 2-0 baby, 2-0 baby.
