    A Wise Man with a Unique Story
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2009*

I originally had mixed emotions about this book and would have rated it lower if i had written the review prior to the excellent ending.  In summation, this is a very short, fast read where Bill Russell describes his unique relationship and total understanding between two friends who can be so close while communicating so little.  But this book needs a better set-up than a book of friendship and Russell supplies that here.  He describes his history as a black man and traces his influence to his widowed father who raised him with the ultimate in high standards of integrity.  But remember this is also a black player entering sports shortly after Jackie Robinson.  Russell had had poor relationships with previous coaches and had been subjected to 1950s racism such as being unable to dine or sleep with the white members of the team in the south.  Not mentioned in great detail are the stories of racism when Bill Russell bought a home in Boston and the racism he faced.  There is quite a humorous story of trash can noise which police said was racoon caused. Then Russell requested a gun permit.  End of noise.But to complete the back story for this book you must know that in addition to be an exceptional athlete, Russell was an incredibly intelligent and private man who even refused autographs to his teammates for their family. With this background Russell describes how he expected another poor relationship with his coach only to find in Red Auerbach a Jewish man who also had suffered racism and was solely focused on winning and treating his players well.  Once he knew what was important to Russell, he treated him as an accomplice, always asking his opinion and never disrespecting him.Throughout the book Russell describes the deepening relationships with examples of their unique friendship which in many cases are quite minor and not worthy of a book.  BUT, at the end of the book Russell eloquently ties this altogether as he talks of his friends death, their intertwined family, and why the most private man I know would take the time to write a book of arguably the second most important relationship of his life, with his coach and friend, Red Auerbach.  This book will appeal to Boston fans, sports fans in general and people interested in interpersonal relationships with only a passing interest in sports.NOTE:  While I mentioned racism more than once as it affects the back story of this book, it is not a focus of this book whatsoever other than some early stories in the 50s describing how it impacted parts of their relationship.  Please do not let this turn you off this book.
