Product Description

Review
"A thoughtful and thorough account of the last, great days of the Celtics team led by Bill Russell." (Bill Littlefield, Boston Globe) "A complete portrait of one of the great success stories in team sports... compelling portraits of both the players and the era that brim with colorful detail." - Sports Illustrated "Thomas J. Whalen has written a grand and comprehensive celebration about the end of a glorious time and about the men who made up such a glorious team." - Frank Deford "Tom Whalen's book is a sweet and overdue corrective to anyone who thinks basketball began with Michael Jordan, who thinks basketball in Boston began with Larry Bird, and who doubts that there were giants ever in short pants. Gaze in awe - Bill Russell played here once." - Charles P. Pierce, author of Hard to Forget: An Alzheimer's Story and Sports Guy "[Whalen] scores big in his examination of the pride, determination, and mutual respect that propelled these nearly middle-age men to one more title." - Booklist"
