Five-time NBA MVP and twelve-time All-Star, Bill Russell was the
centerpiece of the Celtics dynasty that won eleven NBA
championships. As a major league coach, Russell won two additional
championships--the first African-American to do so. He is
considered the father of the modern pro game and one of the most
significant Americans of the twentieth century in sports. His three
previous books include the national bestseller Russell Rules.
Alan Steinberg is the author of numerous books, including the New
York Times bestseller Behind the Mask and Black Profiles in Courage
with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
