Red Auerbach is the greatest basketball mind in the history of the game, and it's not particularly close. He had probably the best eye for talent of any executive in any sport ever, consistently robbed other teams blind in trades, and his ability to orchestrate every aspect of the game on and off the court is unmatched to this day
To think the Celtics got Bill Russell cos another team didn’t want a black man. The Celtics deserved their success for ushering in an integrated league.
And for Ice Capades tickets! Imagine if it was so simple these days. "Hey Toronto, we want Cooper Flag and we're prepared to give you tickets to Broadway and a 12 month Disney+ subscription"
@@HorizonOfHopeNah the tickets were to make sure the team with the first pick didn't pick Russell, because they were going to pick him. The Atlanta Hawks owner was the p.o.s. for trading their second pick because of how Russell looked, the first pick team was just silly for trading tickets to allow Red to grab Russell at #2 lol..
The greatest tragedy in his life was Len Bias. He got everything exactly right to get him after winning a championship. Imagine Bias and Bird on the same team, that would have been iconic. It took Boston 22 years to win another title.
i nickname myself after this legendary Celtics legends i used to be Boston Celtics fan since i was kid and my first team nba 2k before i move being blazers fans and bulls fans 💚🤍🍀🏀
If the Celtics were able to get wilt chamberlain and bill Russell together as a team they would have a bigger history than what we see today from Celtics culture.
Bigger history, sure, but I don't think Wilt would've fit in the Celtics culture. Especially early on in his career, Wilt put up crazy numbers but could never bring his team all the way, which is the complete opposite from the mentality Red was fostering in Boston. It was only after Wilt started sacrificing his own individual numbers that he finally won a championship, so it's only then that he might have been a good fit.
The Boston Celtics was founded in 1946 and are commonly regarded as the most successful team in NBA history, with only its western rival the L.A Lakers up there. The Celtics hold the records for most NBA championships won, with 18 titles (1957, 1959-1966, 1968-1969, 1974, 1976, 1981, 1984, 1986, 2008 and 2024) including 8 straight title reign of the 60's is safely IMPOSSIBLE to best in the modern NBA + 11 NBA Eastern Finalists. Celtics have most recorded wins of any NBA franchise! Two eras that are defined by Celtics with the 1958-1969 era of Bill Russell & Sam Jones and the 1979-1992 era of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale & Robert Parish still are well spoken of till this day. The franchise have over its lifetime also honored most players by having officaly retired 23 player numbers; 00 - Robert Parish 1 - Walter Brown 2 - Arnold Auerbach 3 - Dennis Johnson 5 - Kevin Garnett 6 - Bill Russell 10 - Joseph White 14 - Robert Cousy 15 - Thomas Hensohn 16 - Thomas "Satch" Sanders 17 - John Havlicek 18 - David Cowens 19 - Donald Nelson 21 - William Sharman 22 - Charles Macauley 23 - Frank Ramsey Jr. 24 - Samuel Jones 25 - K.C Jones 31 - Cedrick Maxwell 32 - Kevin McHale 33 - Larry Bird 34 - Paul Pierce 35 - Reginald C. Louis Since 1947, the Celtics have only missed the NBA play-offs 17 times, with there most noticble down-era being between 1996-2001 where they had 6 straight years of play-off drought.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Bill should be more well known for breaking the color barrier on the same level as Jackie Robinson. Jackie gets all the credit and rightly so, along with the ownership. But Red and Bill did the same thing with the NBA and went on to greater success overall.
14:25 If I had a nickel for every time the Celtics traded the #1 pick for the #3 pick and ended up finessing two franchise players from the deal, I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice…
Damn thats funny how Ainge did the same thing with trading the #1 pick to the 76ers for the #3, know they'd pick Fultz, and the Celtics grabbed Tatum and got other picks from 76ers.. Ainge was taking Tatum no matter what, but capitalized on everyone being hyped on Fultz.. Which kinda sucks for Tatum, because he's obviously the #1 pick from that draft and his salary would of been higher, let alone forever being known as the #1 pick...
I just posted a poll blog on Hardwood Amino about Kobe going to the Celtics and yeah it would've been nice to see him in that Celtic green but they missed out and settled with shot chucking prowess Antoine Walker instead.
Bro that’s wild… Red got fined only $300 for fighting an owner… Honestly a fine any of us could pay even with minimum wage… Now fines these days equals a years worth of salary for some of us and more! 😂😂😂

Funny how weak and insulting other GM were in the early 50'-70's. Most of that is due to racism of African American playing in a professional basketball franchise. I mistook you for granted Red, now I see your part of the story of Celtics
Auerbach was truly the light in the darkness that was segregation. We're all glad that there was a person in the 50's that treated Black players with absolute respect.
This is the last time you get away with crediting an old white coach instead of the dominant black man he controlled. …have you done a video about Duncan/Popovich already?
? Red is the catalyst for nba diversity. He changed the game forever through his acceptance of our race and winning at a degree never seen before. Boston owes red everything and so does the league We would never have integrated without men like him
Its fucking crazy to think that he litterally told em to draft kobe like bro how tf does he always ses the best player in the draft litterally every year
If you think Kamala was not voted as US president because of her race, you have been brainwashed by the liberals and their media outlets. Donald Trump was always gonna win.

That is the difference between someone with a vision and has so much passion for the game and a casual who is in it for personal gain.
