Larry Bird (w/ Red Auerbach) Photo

Two Celtic Legends in one famous photograph. Red Auerbach is the architect and mastermind behind one of the most dominant franchises in professional sports history - the Boston Celtics. The cigar-chomping Auerbach was an aggressive, demanding, and often volatile coach who, from 1959 to 1966, led the Celtics to eight straight NBA championships, a streak unmatched in sports history. In 1980, the Professional Basketball Writers Association of America (PBWAA) named Auerbach the greatest coach in the history of the NBA. After coaching, Auerbach joined the Celtics front office full-time where he and the Celtics continued their dominance. Of Course, Larry Bird was a 12-time NBA All-Star who scored over 21,000 points during his 13 years as a Celtic. More importantly to Celtic fans, he brought three World Championship trophies home to Boston during his career. This famous Boston Globe image of Red and Larry (and the trophy!) was token moments after their 1981 Championship, the Celtics' 14th. Hand-signed by Larry in silver sharpie and Sports Gallery Quality Framed, this is a timeless collectible that any basketball fan would love.
