crazy how in Showtime he's potrayed as a racist old man who wanted to build white teams in Boston. This is why hollywood is crazy
He definitely a legend Boston just won the championship
I'm a Laker fan but I'm a tremendous respect for the Celtics. There's no team like the Boston Celtics without Red Auerbach. He is the reason why the Celtics became a storied franchise.
This was disrespectful from the royals manager to give five thousand cigars to fans because nobody smokes cigars after a win except for red Auerbach.
anyone see an old jerry Seinfeld in the thumbnail?
theres no such thing as a cocaine overdose
R.I.P to Kobe and Bias
He needs a movie
Red Auerbach was a boss.
2:50
ROB PELINKA better watch this shit right now
He paid a referee named Mendy Rudolf to cheat. They called him Mendy Celtic
I got chills at the end about Kobe! Great video
As a diehard lakers fan I hate the Celtics because of the rivalry but I respect the Celtics history and my lakers will sweep the Celtics in the 2025 finals💜💛🏀.
Red Auerbach didn’t build the Celtics. He’s arguably the foundation of the NBA as we know it today.
When he lit that cigar, it meant the game was over. Not as many colorful players today. Boston even had a "muscle man" – Jungle Jim Loscutoff. Get physical with Boston and "Jungle Jim" got physical with you. Bob Cousy changed the game. Boston Celtics were my favorite team for years. Gave my granddaughter an old Celtic jacket. When she told me what it was worth I about fell over.
Great video man
Brad Steven’s reminds me of Red and his ability to talk circles around teams to get the players he wanted. That’s why the squad we have now is amazing, all thanks to brads genius
The reason Wilt dont have more rings
Nah ill bet red know the future cuz mf knowing kobe to be a big thing is crazy
Finally a video about Auerbach! This man is part of the foundation of basketball and does not get enough credit for what he did. Every basketball fan should know this mans name.
16 championships in a 30 year span 1956-1986 greatest team builder ever RIP Red
Just hearing Auerbach wanting to draft Kobe sends chills to my spine🥶🥶🥶
Red Auerbach is one of my idols. As a Celtic fan, he made it all happen.
My man have Eye of Champions😮
This Celtics team plays with the same qualities
RIP Tommy
Bill Sharman wasn’t drafted by the Celtics he was traded for chuck share by the fort wayne pistons. They acquired him in the dispersal draft after his first season with the Washington capitals
the crazy part for Red is that if Len Bias and Reggie Lewis don't die, his run of winning with the Celtics extends through the 90s
Joe Mazzulla does a great job instilling the values and work ethic of Red in these current Celtics players
Above all, I love Red's larger than life personality.
Dude was a g fr. Finessing the league out of all of the best players and knocking out racists .
Red's famous quote: "it is not about the five players who start the game it was about five who were in the game at the end".
Red was forced out of being President of the team by Rick Petino who insisted on the title in order to sign on as coach.
Is there a movie about this guy because if there's not they need to make one
Shows you the difference one man who knows basketball can make – while I do love ML Carr, he would not have been my choice to run the key decisions in the 90s.
He knocked someone out for being racist? Heck yeah
The game changes and coaches can't cope with the changes but to think this guy could understand the game and the talents 40 years later is insane. Literally a one of a kind mind in the sport
The 1980 trade could be called the most one-sided in the history of organized sports. But what comes close, which could've also been mentioned, was the DJ/Robey deal. The picks involved ended up giving the C's Greg Kite and the Suns Rod Foster. Robey and Kite were a wash as players, but obviously Kite was much younger, so the C's made out there too. So they essentially got DJ, a vital part of the next 2 championships, for a role player who unfortunately also had a short career due to injury.
Len Bias…. 😢
Amazing videos keep it up nonstop
As a Bostonian, it's crazy to me that the Hawks could've had those 11 rings
This was a WELL done video. Fantastic
