Coached the Celtics to 8 Championships, then was the GM for 7 more pretty unbelievable.
Made the greatest trade ever sending a #1 overall pick to the Golden State Warriors for the #3 overall pick and Robert Parrish, then used that pick to draft Kevin McHale. Pretty big story here in Boston (obviously) Celtics plan to dedicate their season to him, I wonder what they are going to do since they've already retired a number in his honor (#2) |
