I've always been a huge fan of tradition...and when Lenny Wilkens broke Red Auerbach's all-time record in the NBA for most wins by a coach, he lit up a celebratory cigar just like Red would always do after a victory.  I loved getting him to sign this pic of that historic moment. #KenCollects #LennyWilkens #HallofFame #939 #RedAuerbach #victorycigar #NBA #autograph #autographs #autographed #autographcollection #autographcollector #auto #signed #signature #8x10 #8x10s https://www.instagram.com/p/B5AenKDgpft/?igshid=kmphbwpqtwnp

#redauerbach

Champions at The @whitehouse: The 1962 Boston @celtics , led by guard Bob Cousy and Coach Red Auerbach were the first NBA championship team to be invited for a tour of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave on January 31, 1963. They were in town for an exhibition game against the Cincinnati Royals. Although their White House tour was planned, their meeting with President Kennedy was not. Made aware that his hometown team was in the building, the president held an impromptu visit with the team in the Oval Office. A far cry from the formal ceremonial event of modern times. Where's Bill Russell? The team captain and civil rights advocate, along with his teammates had no idea they were going to get the chance to meet with Kennedy and overslept, missing the morning tour and meeting.

"Mi dicevano di far giocare i migliori 5. Io ho sempre fatto giocare i 5 che si integravano meglio fra loro. Non ho mai nemmeno prestato grande attenzione alle statistiche. Ci sono troppe cose che non dicono: ad esempio non possono misurare il cuore di un giocatore". Esattamente un secolo fa (20 settembre 1917) nasceva Arnold Jacob "Red" Auerbach. Scomparso da oltre 10 anni, celebriamo oggi uno degli allenatori e dirigenti più influenti nella storia NBA. A Boston, da coach, ha vinto 9 titoli in 10 anni. Ha trionfato altre 7 volte, ovviamente sempre ai Celtics, in qualità di GM e presidente. Per la precisione, fanno 16 titoli vinti in 29 anni... E cosa più importante, a lui dobbiamo l'invenzione del "sigaro della vittoria", che era solito accendersi quando la partita era ormai in tasca per i suoi. Scherzi a parte, monumento vero di questo sport: immenso Red. #redauerbach #century #legendary #coach @celtics #bostonceltics #icon #basketball #scientist #auerbach
