Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Boston Red Sox, a big bowl of bad, were never any good, and they were constantly cannon fodder for the New York Yankees. The Red Sox never won a World Series since 1918, when Babe Ruth roamed the Fenway lawn.
#2 The Boston Celtics are the prime example of how New Englanders have been title deprived. The team has never won a championship, but they have been champions almost every year since the 1950s.
#3 The Auerbach-Russell Celtics were a model team that produced a nightly clinic of team-over-self basketball. They were lean and hungry, and they preached fast break offense at all times.
#4 The Celtics were the first team in the NBA to integrate racially, drafting the first Black player in 1950. They were also the first team to integrate successfully, and no one was offended when Auerbach made references to blacks in a positive light.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The Boston Red Sox, a big bowl of bad, were never any good, and they were constantly cannon fodder for the New York Yankees. The Red Sox never won a World Series since 1918, when Babe Ruth roamed the Fenway lawn.

#2

The Boston Celtics are the prime example of how New Englanders have been title deprived. The team has never won a championship, but they have been champions almost every year since the 1950s.

#3

The Auerbach-Russell Celtics were a model team that produced a nightly clinic of team-over-self basketball. They were lean and hungry, and they preached fast break offense at all times.

#4

The Celtics were the first team in the NBA to integrate racially, drafting the first Black player in 1950. They were also the first team to integrate successfully, and no one was offended when Auerbach made references to blacks in a positive light.

#5

The Boston Garden, which was built in 1928, was one of the original dual-purpose barns in major metropolitan cities designed to feature hockey, basketball, circuses, concerts, and all other forms of indoor entertainment. The Celtics court is famous for dead spots where the ball won’t bounce back into a dribbler’s hand.

#6

The Celtics were able to use their radio play-by-play voice Johnny Most, who was also a heavy smoker, to fuel their dynasty. The team’s arrogant coach, Red Auerbach, made an exception for Legal Sea Foods, where he would smoke.

#7

Basketball is a sport that is easy to pick up and play, even if you’re alone. It is a game that you can carry on playing well into your old age.

#8

When the NBA returned in late July 2020, play resumed in an ESPN Orlando Sports Complex known as the Bubble. It was an age of masks, social distancing, and isolation aimed at preventing coronavirus transmission. It cost $54,000 to send a reporter into the Bubble.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

In late October of 1982, the Boston Celtics, on the eve of their thirty-seventh season, checked into a Holiday Inn in Richfield, Ohio. They had just won their fourteenth banner just seventeen months earlier, and there was every reason to believe they’d be going back to the Finals for several seasons to come.

#2

Ford was a ten-year veteran who’d played four seasons in Boston. He planned on playing at least one more year, but lost his backcourt job to NBA veteran Buckner, who’d been acquired in an off-season deal with the Bucks.
