Red Auerbach: The Harvard Business Review Interview

Part 21

HBR: You've been part of the Celtics for more than 36 years. Is there Celtics pride after Red Auerbach? Are you the center of the whole thing?

AUERBACH: No, it's a team. Everybody right now is a cog in the machine. If you take out one part, you just do the best you can until you can replace it. There was a Celtics team before Larry Bird, there will be a Celtics team after Larry Bird. There was a Celtics team before me, and there will be a Celtics team after me. How good, I don't know. But it'll be there.
