Brown was a hockey buff. It was his greatest love. But he was a sportsman too. He wouldn’t believe the sport couldn’t survive and he poured every single dime he had into it. He lost every cent. The Boston Garden decided to discontinue basketball, so Brown bought the team himself. His money went and went and went. This has to be the greatest story in the history of professional sports. One man and a few friends going against the tide, refusing to pack it in, and winding up with the greatest world championship streak on record.
