Red Auerbach and Bill Russell are smiling from heaven- the coach and players of Boston still embody the same values for the sport that they did.

David, you are amazing. You are a strong contender for my "phone a friend" when I have a question because your knowledge and range are so vast. Truly, you are a repository of information which I super appreciate. btw, when I think Auerback, I think smoking cigars. Now that I don't love.

People who create athletic dynasties interest me because they are so rare. And the Celtics had one in the '50s and '60s thanks to Red and Bill, in one form or another.
