One of the greatest coaches in sports history passed away over the weekend.
I found this a good read:

Jeeze - that was well written and bought back some happy memories. I always thought the celtics were a better team than the lakers etc etc but - the NBA does not seem to have as much drama as it did then eh? Sport gets big and theres no room for the characters...
