The man invented the victory cigar. He built 16 championship teams. When Wilt Chamberlain got the first $100,000 contract, Red gave Bill Russell $100,001. The fact that Rick Pitino stole Red's role as President is probably the strongest charge against the Ricktator. It’s like when Duquette kicked Pesky out of the dugout. But I digress. This is about Red. And he lived one hell of a life. Rest in peace.
