Rest In Peace Red Aerubach The Greatest Basketball Coach and General Manager to ever grace the hardwood. This might not mean a lot for non Celtic fans and non basketball fans, but the man was a legend. Sixteen NBA championships, The first African American to ever play in the NBA the First African American Coach, the first African American Starting Five, drafting of Larry Bird. Red was a genius. My beloved Celtics will never be same without you! Carpenters bend wood, fletchers bend arrows, wise men fashion themselves.

A legend for sure. 
I must confess, I actually thought he'd already passed away some time ago.  | |

R.I.P ...never heard of him before, but I have a lot of respect for oldschool basketball players and coaches.
I learned a lot from a basketball coach...not necessarily about basketball itself but life and discipline in general. RIP Red, and thank you John Treloar...there´s a certain kind of magic about basketball coaches. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

Yep, Red was a genius and an innovator. The man was ahead of his time, and helped desegregate the NBA. And this is coming from a long-time Knicks fan and Celtic hater. | |
