But what’s funny it’s I’ve always wanted to write a book about how some great college and professional coaches became legendary just by bringing in black players 1st. Red, Branch Rickie, that Utep & Don Haskins.

    Red Auerbach is the greatest basketball mind in the history of the game, and it's not particularly close.

      Bigger history, sure, but I don't think Wilt would've fit in the Celtics culture. Especially early on in his career, Wilt put up crazy numbers but could never bring his team all the way, which is the complete opposite from the mentality Red was fostering in Boston. It was only after Wilt started sacrificing his own individual numbers that he finally won a championship, so it's only then that he might have been a good fit.

    The Boston Celtics was founded in 1946 and are commonly regarded as the most successful team in NBA history, with only its western rival the L.A Lakers up there.
    The Celtics hold the records for most NBA championships won, with 18 titles (1957, 1959-1966, 1968-1969, 1974, 1976, 1981, 1984, 1986, 2008 and 2024) including 8 straight title reign of the 60's is safely IMPOSSIBLE to best in the modern NBA + 11 NBA Eastern Finalists. Celtics have most recorded wins of any NBA franchise!
    Two eras that are defined by Celtics with the 1958-1969 era of Bill Russell & Sam Jones and the 1979-1992 era of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale & Robert Parish still are well spoken of till this day.
    The franchise have over its lifetime also honored most players by having officaly retired 23 player numbers;
    00 - Robert Parish
    1 - Walter Brown
    2 - Arnold Auerbach
    3 - Dennis Johnson
    5 - Kevin Garnett
    6 - Bill Russell
    10 - Joseph White
    14 - Robert Cousy
    15 - Thomas Hensohn
    16 - Thomas "Satch" Sanders
    17 - John Havlicek
    18 - David Cowens
    19 - Donald Nelson
    21 - William Sharman
    22 - Charles Macauley
    23 - Frank Ramsey Jr.
    24 - Samuel Jones
    25 - K.C Jones
    31 - Cedrick Maxwell
    32 - Kevin McHale
    33 - Larry Bird
    34 - Paul Pierce
    35 - Reginald C. Louis
    Since 1947, the Celtics have only missed the NBA play-offs 17 times, with there most noticble down-era being between 1996-2001 where they had 6 straight years of play-off drought.

    Damn thats funny how Ainge did the same thing with trading the #1 pick to the 76ers for the #3, know they'd pick Fultz, and the Celtics grabbed Tatum and got other picks from 76ers.. Ainge was taking Tatum no matter what, but capitalized on everyone being hyped on Fultz.. Which kinda sucks for Tatum, because he's obviously the #1 pick from that draft and his salary would of been higher, let alone forever being known as the #1 pick...
