Back in a time when the National Basketball Association consisted of the best basketball players in the land...Translation...Back when the NBA was fun to watch...there was a guy by the name of Red Auerbach, and he was the coach/general manager of the team in Boston called "The Celtics"."
In a time - the 1960's - in our country, Red Auerbach was willing to put 5 black men on the court when no one else was. He won 9 straight NBA championships.
In the 1980's, he was courageous enough to put 5 white guys on the court, when no one else was. He ended up winning 7 more NBA championships.
Red Auerbach had passion and the courage of his convictions. On October 28th 2006, Red Auerbach died at the age of 89.
America has lost another person who stood for what he believed in, and was a success because of it.
Is there anyone out there like him? Please step forward, now.

I'm gonna tell it like it is, and I may use some profanity. Soooo, if the word "Fuck" fucking bothers you, it might be better to leave.
