About the Author

Bill Russell is a true original, an innovator, and he defines winning. He won eleven championships in thirteen seasons with the Boston Celtics and coached the team in two of those championships. He was the first African American to coach a professional sports team and the first and only player/coach to win two NBA championships without an assistant. He was the first athlete to win a NCAA championship, an Olympic Gold Medal, and a NBA championship all in one year. He was named the Twentieth Century's Greatest Team Player by Sports Illustrated, and HBO recognized Russell as "The Greatest Winner of the Twentieth Century."

David Falkner is the author of several highly acclaimed books on sports including Sadaharu Oh: A Zen Way of Baseball, The Last Yankee, and Great Time Coming: The Life of Jackie Robinson, from Baseball to Birmingham.
