On Oct. 18, 1950, Arnold “Red” Auerbach coached his first preseason game for a club he helmed in some capacity until his death in 2006. And it is no coincidence Auerbach was tied to the Boston Celtics for the better part of six decades, either.
Among the winningest coaches and general managers in sports history, 16 of Boston’s 17 NBA titles have Auerbach’s fingerprints on them. In celebration of the legacy he helped set in motion, the folks at NBA TV dedicated an entire episode of their “Basketballography” show to Auerbach and his career at the helm of the Celtics.
Watch the video embedded below hosted by Basketballography’s Andre Aldridge to catch the full documentary on the legendary Auerbach for yourself, courtesy of YouTuber ginoongkamote’s channel.
