I still have a voicemail saved in my phone of my father calling up during a Patriots' blowout several years ago, and the first thing he says is, "This is like Red Auerbach, lighting up his victory cigar."
Even if you aren't a Celtics fan, you know Red Auerbach. You know about his victory cigar.
Today, the man who architected Boston's greatest sports dynasty and the NBA's all-time winningest franchise passed away from a heart attack at the age of 89.
