Reseñas editoriales
Basketball star Bill Russell and Alan Steinberg team up to tell the story of Russell's professional relationship and friendship with his coach, Red Auerbach. Russell's first-person perspective of this unlikely relationship will not only provide the listener with a glimpse of the social climate of the 1950s and ‘60s, but also with a lesson in how two people who come from distinctly separate backgrounds can be alike in many ways. Peter Jay Fernandez effectively utilizes his smooth-as-glass voice to provide listeners with an experience that they surely will not forget anytime soon. Fernandez's eloquent delivery will have listeners savoring every syllable of this audiobook.
Resumen del Editor
In fact, little known to the public, Auerbach and Russell - one a short, brash Jew from Brooklyn, the other a tall, intense African-American from Louisiana and Oakland - were far more than just coach and player. Through 13 years of building a sports dynasty together, one that remains among the greatest of all time, their relationship evolved into a rare, telling example of deep male friendship: confident, supportive, understanding, founded in common goals, even as their feelings remained largely unspoken. They stayed close for the rest of Auerbach's life, despite physical distance and far fewer chances to be together. True male friends are always there for each other, whenever the need or occasion arises.
Red and Me is an extraordinary book: an homage to a peerless coach, showing how he produced results unlike any other; an inspiring story of mutual success, in which each man gave his all, and gained back even more; above all, it may be the best depiction of male friendship ever put on the page. Who would have guessed that such different men could have become such a tightly bonded pair? Few did guess it. Now Russell tells it.

In Golden Days, acclaimed sports journalist Jack McCallum uses these two teams - the Jerry West/Wilt Chamberlain/Elgin Baylor Lakers and the Stephen Curry/Kevin Durant/Draymond Green Warriors - to trace the dynamic history of the National Basketball Association, which for much of the last half century has marched memorably through the state of California. Tying together the two strands of McCallum's story is Hall of Famer West, the ferociously competitive Laker guard who later became one of the key architects of the Warriors.

A sweeping and revelatory history of basketball, drawing upon hundreds of hours of interviews with the greatest players, coaches, executives, and journalists in the history of the game. In an effort to tell the complete story of basketball in all its fascinating dimensions, acclaimed authors Jackie MacMullan, Rafe Bartholomew, and Dan Klores have compiled nearly a thousand hours' worth of interviews with a staggering number of basketball greats. The audiobook that grew out of those interviews is an extraordinary project and quite possibly the most ambitious basketball work ever made.

Karl's beery nights, fistfights, and barking followed him into a 35-year coaching career. In a game defined by big stakes and bigger egos, rabid fans and an unforgiving media, Karl was hired and fired a dozen times.

Tony Dungy's words and example have intrigued millions of people, particularly following his victory in Super Bowl XLI, the first for an African-American coach. How is it possible for a coach—especially a football coach—to win the respect of his players and lead them to the Super Bowl without the screaming histrionics, the profanities, the demand that the sport come before anything else? How is it possible for anyone to be successful without compromising faith and family?

When Kevin Garnett shocked the world by announcing that he would not be attending college - as young basketball prodigies were expected to do - but instead would enter the 1995 NBA draft directly from high school, he blazed a trail for a generation of teenage basketball players to head straight for the pros. That trend would continue until the NBA instituted an age limit in 2005, requiring all players to attend college or another developmental program for at least one year.

A New York Times best seller, David Halberstam's The Breaks of the Game focuses on one grim season (1979-80) in the life of the Bill Walton-led Portland Trail Blazers, a team that only three years before had been NBA champions. The tactile authenticity of Halberstam's knowledge of the basketball world is unrivaled. Yet he is writing here about far more than just basketball. This is a story about a place in our society where power, money, and talent collide and sometimes corrupt, a place where both national obsessions and naked greed are exposed.

Historia
Bill Russell was not the first African American to play professional basketball, but he was its first Black superstar. From the moment he stepped onto the court of the Boston Garden in 1956, Russell began to transform the sport in a fundamental way, making him, more than any of his contemporaries, the Jackie Robinson of basketball. In King of the Court, Aram Goudsouzian provides a vivid and engrossing chronicle of the life and career of this brilliant champion and courageous racial pioneer. Russell's leaping, wide-ranging defense altered the game's texture.

Historia
Best-selling sportswriter Jeff Pearlman draws from almost 300 interviews to take the first full measure of the Lakers’ epic Showtime era. A dazzling account of one of America’s greatest sports sagas, Showtime is packed with indelible characters, vicious rivalries, and jaw-dropping, behind-the-scenes stories of the players’ decadent Hollywood lifestyles. From the Showtime era’s remarkable rise to its tragic end - marked by Magic Johnson’s 1991 announcement that he had contracted HIV - Showtime is a gripping narrative of sports, celebrity, and 1980s-style excess.

No college basketball coach has ever dominated the sport like John Wooden. His UCLA teams reached unprecedented heights in the 1960s and '70s, capped by a run of ten NCAA championships in twelve seasons and an eighty-eight-game winning streak, records that stand to this day. Wooden also became a renowned motivational speaker and writer, revered for his "Pyramid of Success." The portrait that emerges from Davis's remarkable biography is of a man in full, whose life story still resonates today.

A Great Walk Through Basketball History
I'm a basketball fan, but even if I weren't, I would have still enjoyed this audio book as much as the most ardent fan.
The only missing is that it would have been even better if we could have enjoyed Bill Russell's one of a kind voice throughout the book.
Very good read for everyone!

An awesome story of Very respectable people
I love this listen. Great story, not only as a Celtics fan, but as someone that admires what these men accomplished on and off the court.
You don't hate be a Celtics fan to appreciate the story, but if you weren't before you give it a try, you maybe after ☘

Why Did Sanitize This Version?
In general, Mr Russell’s premise for this book is that he and Coach Auerbach deeply respected and appreciated each other from the first day they met. They also achieved everything that anyone could ever hope to achieve on a basketball court when they worked together with the Celtics. Unfortunately, that lack of conflict doesn’t lead to a very compelling narrative. I left this book looking forward to reading a more journalistic history of the Boston dynasty.
What is puzzling is that Mr Russell has told many of these stories before in interviews or in other books, and in previous narratives, the stakes are higher and the images are more graphic. This has the time of a history written for youth.
For instance, in “Red & Me”, Mr Russell rather comically tells how he scared off racists who had vandalized his home in the town of Reading Mass. He says the local police told him that his garbage cans were probably knocked over by raccoons, and the raccoons were smart enough to stop bothering him once he applied for s as gun permit at the town hall.
In an earlier telling of the same story, Mr Russell explained that racial epithets were written in excrement on the walls INSIDE his house—the same house where his wife and daughter lived alone when he was playing ball on the road. I have no idea why he includes that story in this book and takes the horror out of it. It’s hard to believe that his relationship with Coach Auerbach wasn’t effected by the pain of these racist attacks that threatened his family’s safety. There is also no mention of any thought of leaving Boston for a less segregated community. It’s understood that Coach Auerbach (and owner Walter Brown) were notably anti-racist which was
not common in the NBA, yet they couldn’t control the racism of their fans.
Likewise, Mr Russell describes Coach Red as a basketball genius because the Celtics won 11 championships, but the most specific stories he related are all about Auerbach letting Russell do whatever he thinks will be most successful. The problem is that in the same book, Russell demonizes his college and olympic coaches for not understanding his basketball talents. But those teams also won championships. One could read this and think that any coach of Bill Russell’s was bound to win no matter how they behaved—because in fact, they did.
I wish “Red & Me” had presented instances of failure—most people learn more from failure than success. In truth, the Celtics were a last place team during a period in the 70s when Auerbach was still general manager. He brought in highly questionable players and they under performed. Likewise, Russell had some success as a coach away from Boston, but he was also fired from at least one job. Nothing from this period is mentioned and it would’ve been valuable to know how these great men supported each other when times were hard.
