Red Auerbach Tribute

I had to re-up this mix, along with every other video I've made, because all of them were somehow removed from my account. I made this tribute in October of 2006 to pay my respects to the Celtics' godfather, Red Auerbach, who tragically passed away at age 89 before last season begun.

R.I.P. Red

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

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.

Phil Jackson OWNS red

11 > 9

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

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

@gfscarface13 Red sure made the right move getting Larry Bird

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

@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 won 16 rings 9 as coach and 7 as G.M and team president. Red stopped coaching at age 48 how old was Jackson when he won his 9th ring Red was 48.

[13war25]

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.
