Amazing viewpoint into the life of Red Auerbach. It's like Tuesdays with Morrie for Celtics fans and those who love the NBA
I have read 2 books by John Feinstein and both of them were excellent. This book was like listening to an old friend talk. The Red Auerbach stories were great. I have this book available for sale on Half.com
I loved this one almost as much as Bird's biography. Red is such an interesting character. I especially love when he insists his friend Adolph Rupp wasn't racist. He just didn't like anyone who couldn't play!
Must read for any Celtics fan! Red is one of a kind and the stories will make you laugh out loud!
Top read. Having read Feinstein's earlier books about stuff I wasnt really interested in (College Basketball, Golf), this one about NBA was a top read. Actually it is more of an Auerbach book and stories he tells. Since I was always curious about Red Auerbach, this makes it all the more interesting. Not much depth or analysis of Auerbach, just a collection of his stories and thoughts. Top stuff still, heartily recommended.
Great book! You learn about the birth of the NBA, and the Celtics Dynasty, through the eyes of the man who built it. A must read for any sports, basketball, or Celtics fan.
Hilarious stories, a great collection from the life of Red. Even a chapter with Feinstein's best friend Bobby Knight is a welcome addition.
A wonderful storyteller with a wonderful story to tell. I don't know if Feinstein is more masterful in his writing of if Auerbach just sets himself apart with his class, dignity and awesome NBA record....
