Bill Russell To Release Book Named “Red And Me” Next Spring
Posted by Jeff Sack under Main
Well I know what I am asking for for my birthday next year. The “Associated Press” reported Monday that Boston Celtics Hall of Fame center, and former coach Bill Russell will?release a book due next Spring on his relationship with the late great Red Auerbach. The book to be called “Red and Me” will be published by Harper Collins. Russell and Auerbach won an unbelievable 11 NBA Championships in 13 seasons. Russell released a statement about the book on Monday. It read Arnold Jacob Auerbach passed on Oct. 28, 2006; almost 50 years from when I joined his Boston Celtics. I felt a tremendous sense of loss, a huge void in my life. There was an empty space in my psyche where a special person had been. I thought about that at Red’s funeral. And the fact that there was no logical reason why we ever should’ve become friends, because we came from such diverse places. I thought about how much I missed his friendship.”
