Book Reviews of The Boston Celtics Encyclopedia
Book Review: I still can't believe that which I saw for myself ....
Summary: 5 Stars
... during the Golden Era of American professional sports, 1955-70, featuring it's greatest, most hard-nosed performer (Bill Russell) and its greatest, most successful statesman (Red Auerbach). Plus a few other "pretty good" players .... my memory is fading but I do remember a couple of last names starting with "H" and a couple of them starting with "J."
As a sports-hungry kid back then, I was a Jerry West fan but the Celtics were so damn good I actually thought them to be cheating.
Though in hindsight I guess I was really a "Celtics fan in Lakers clothing" because I have finally admitted after all these years that things turned out just the way they were supposed to.
Too bad we didn't have the video technology back then that have today; in which case I would be watching tapes of the Old Celtics 24/7 .... starving, but very, very happy.
At any rate the NBA, at the very least, will never be the same.
