Celtics legend Red Auerbach dies

Legendary Boston Celtics coach Red Auerbach died yesterday at the age of 89 of a heart attack.

Auerbach is tied with lakers coach Phil Jackson with 9 NBA championships…the difference being that Auerbach earned them instead of hovering like a vulture over other coaches’ achievements.
