The patriarch. The godfather. Ole Red. Whatever you want to call him, Red Auerbach was much more than just the Head Coach, General Manager, and Team President of the Boston Celtics, he was -- in essence -- the Boston Celtics themselves. His spirit, ingenuity, and passion for the game and the city of Boston embodies and personifies everything it means to be a Celtic.
So, on this day, what would've been his centennial birthday, we pay homage to the cigar-smoking man responsible for a lot of the confetti that's rained upon the great city of Boston.
