false 6276290 2 <p> Red Auerbach, one of the greatest coaches in sports history, died on October 28, 2006. Bill Russell, the five-time MVP and star center on the Auerbach teams that won eleven championships in thirteen years, said little in public at the time. His relationship with his coach had been so deeply personal that he could not express it with a brief comment. </p> <p> In fact, little known to the public, Auerbach and Russell—one a short, brash Jew from Brooklyn, the other a tall, intense African-American from Louisiana and Oakland—were far more than just coach and player. Through thirteen years of building a sports dynasty together, one that remains among the greatest of all time, their relationship evolved into a rare, telling example of deep male friendship: confident, supportive, understanding, founded in common goals, even as their feelings remained largely unspoken. They stayed close for the rest of Auerbach's life, despite physical distance and far fewer chances to be together. True male friends are always there for each other, whenever the need or occasion arises. </p> <p> <i>Red and Me</i> is an extraordinary book: an homage to a peerless coach, showing how he produced results unlike any other; an inspiring story of mutual success, in which each man gave his all, and gained back even more; above all, it may be the best depiction of male friendship ever put on the page. Who would have guessed that such different men could have become such a tightly bonded pair? Few did guess it. Now Russell tells it. </p> 6459773 5 5 2009 Red and Me: My Coach, My Lifelong Friend total:32|5:6|4:10|3:9|2:5|1:2| 32 109 70 13 4 1 false false Fri May 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 07:50:16 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 13:03:04 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Sep 23 04:48:31 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 09:49:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Nov 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 11:14:48 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 11:17:28 -0800 2009
I did not like it as much as the other books that he has authored. This book repeats itself over and over and over...more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Aug 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 07:26:55 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 17:19:40 -0700 2009
