Product Description

This is the ultimate insider's look at the personalities of the players and coaches who contributed to "Celtics Pride." The late Johnny Most describes in vivid detail his firsthand accounts of the greatest Celtics moments in history!

He turned shoving matches into "bloodbaths" and minor fouls into "vicious muggings."
