About this title

From Library Journal

For the avid--or rabid--Celtics fan, this book is essential. Compiled with the excitement of two kids and the expertise of two professionals, the book features the superb photography of Raphael and the words of Boston Globe sportswriter Ryan, who has covered the Celtics for two decades. With the objectivity of a top-notch reporter and the flair of a storyteller, Ryan examines the chemistry on the court and how the ultimate chemical reaction has been one championship after another. He limits himself to events on the court and the acquisition of the players. There are no tangents; the book moves as unerringly forward as a Celtic fastbreak. Also included are team and player statistics since the beginning of the franchise, as well as a thumbnail summary of each player.
