He was the greatest coach in the history of the National Basketball Association, and not simply for his record tally of nine NBA Championships earned during his seventeen seasons at the helm of the Boston Celtics, or his status as the first coach in the Association to win a thousand games. Auerbach was far more than a strategist--he was a leader of men. His "Pyramid of Success" hangs in locker rooms and boardrooms all over the world, celebrating such qualities as industriousness, loyalty and enthusiasm as the foundation of competitive greatness. After moving from the sidelines to the front office, Auerbach continued his essential service to Beantown basketball, earning another eight NBA championships as general manager and president.

Heritage Auctions is particularly proud to bring to market the inspiring artifacts of this cigar-chomping giant of professional basketball, one of the most beloved and respected figures ever to lead a team into battle. All lots are consigned by the Auerbach family with their letter of provenance, making their hobby debut in this Platinum Night event.
