Red Auerbach Tribute

[gfscarface13]

Phil Jackson OWNS red

11 > 9

[13war25]

Jackson hung on M.J.'s balls. 2003 L.A. beaten in the 2nd round by the Spurs. After, Jackson clashed with Bryant who had a personal distaste for Jackson's brand of basketball and subsequently called it "boring." In games, Bryant would often disregard the set offense completely to experiment with his own 1 on 1moves, incensing Jackson. Bryant managed to test Jackson's patience enough that the "Zen Master" even demanded that Bryant be traded, although Laker management rejected the request...ROFL

Red stopped coaching at age 48 with 9 championships as coach. How many did Phil have at age 48? Red was part of SIXTEEN Celtics Championships.

Red OWNS PHIL Jackson.

Phil has kobe, shaq, and mj (arguable the 3 best since bird/magic) thats like Red coaching russel, wilt, and jerry west...the only player in the new generation i would put in there is Duncan

@13war25 red doesn't own anybody now but the Inferior nba of the 60's. It was a Joke, No team was going to beat the celtics with all those hall of famers. it was a joke. celtics haven't repeat since 1969. Figure that people.

[13war25]

@gfscarface13 Red sure made the right move getting Larry Bird

watch?v=pNDYB7saGlM

Red won 5 rings AFTER THE 60's as G.M. and team president. SIXTEEN RINGS TOTAL FOR RED!

[gfscarface13]

@13war25 I know that. Still the celtics couldn't repeat since 1969. More teams, more competetation, celtics couldn't repeat.

i reccommend the book Let Me Tell You a Story by Red and John Feinstein to any basketball fan out there

[tudotough]

[ed2kou1]

God bless Red. Wish he was there, when we got #17.

[Gurahk2]

He was an amazing coach! We'll never forget him! This championship's for you, Red! Thank you!

[shayne190]

it would have been awesome to Red light up his cigar in game 6

[jizzymac]

red would have lit the game six cigar with about 10 min to go in the 4th!

[MBurke15]

It's all worth it now. #17 is in the rafters Red.

Tragically??? I don't think so. Sadly.

I'm a celtics fan and 89 years is a pretty good innings.

A tragic death was Len Bias.

[djmo00]

Unfortunately, Red is dead so he is oblivious to the Celtics' current success. There was a great interview though with his daughter during the Golden State victory. The whole family is clearly passionate about the C's.

[Celticsareback1]

depends on what you beleive

[matthew1544]

Red has to be smiling up in heaven after the deals the Celtics made to get Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett.

[MrBennetzen]

What would Red think if Boston won number 17?

[fiddlenut24]

he'd light up a big fat stogie!

[MBurke15]

Watched this video moments before the C's lost out on the lottery on 5/22/06. Thankfully the misery only lasted about one month later.

Red is smiling these days.
