En el Radar de hoy vemos uno de los bombazos deportivos de la temporada: Bill Chisholm, socio gerente de Symphony Technology Group, se hace con la franquicia verde por 6100 millones de dólares. Para entender la magnitud de esta venta, es la operación deportiva más costosa de la historia. Supera por 50 millones a la compra de Washington Commanders de la NFL hecha por el co-fundador de la firma de capital privado Apollo Global Management. Dentro de la NBA, son dos mil millones de dólares más que las adquisiciones que se hicieron en 2023, con las ventas de las franquicias Phoenix Suns y Dallas Mavericks. ¿Cuáles son los planes para los próximos años? El negocio es redondo para el que era hasta la semana pasada el dueño de los Celtics: Wyc Grousbeck compró el equipo en 2002 por solo 360 millones. Grousbeck supo aprovechar el mal momento que atravesaba Boston, ya que la franquicia llevaba sin levantar el anillo desde 1986. Además, con la retirada de Larry Bird y de otros jugadores capitales de los ochenta como Kevin McHale, Robert Parish o Dennis Johnson, los Celtics deambularon sin rumbo durante la década de los noventa, sin mucha suerte en el draft. ¿Qué piensa Grousbeck del nuevo dueño? ¿Y qué hay de la plantilla? Ya se sabe que estas decisiones pueden generar malestar en los equipos. Ya ha quedado claro que es un gran fan de la ciudad y del equipo pero a nadie se le escapa que la NBA vive el momento más boyante de su historia. De hecho, Adam Silver, comisionado de la liga, llegó a un acuerdo con la NBC-Comcas, Amazon Prime Video y Disney para la emisión de partidos en los próximos once años. La NBA recibirá de los tres 76.000 millones de dólares. Todos quieren un trozo de la tarta y parecen que no son conscientes de la bajada de audiencia que ha tenido la liga: las finales del año pasado las vieron 11 millones de espectadores, un 3% menos que el año anterior. Además, el comisionado sigue dándole vueltas al tema del All Star. La expectación con el partido de las estrellas es cada vez menor: en 2025 vieron el partido fue 4,7 millones de espectadores, la segunda peor audiencia de la historia. Los Boston Celtics aterrizaron en la NBA en el año 1946 pero no es hasta la década de los cincuenta cuando la franquicia empieza a hacerse un nombre con la llegada del entrenador y posterior ejecutivo Red Auerbach. En el año 56 draftea al que puede ser seguramente el jugador más influyente de la historia del equipo: Bill Russel, que junto a otros jugadores como Cousy, Havlicek o Sam y K.C Jones ganaron ocho anillos consecutivos, once desde el 57 hasta el 69.

Central High School teacher John Havlicek in studio discussing, in his over 30 years, how kids have changed because of cellphones. We also hit on the $4.5 billion state surplus, as Gov. Tony Evers was in La Crosse on the budget, and how school funding leads to better student outcomes. We started, though, with Havlicek teaching Spanish and how or whether that’s changed of his three decades. After that, we got into the state’s $4.5 billion budget surplus, how Gov. Evers was in town for a budget listening session and Havlicek’s takes for attending. At the midway point, we got into school funding — as voters in the La Crosse School District just passed a $53.5 million referendum to build and upgrade elementary schools — and how much the voucher school system costs taxpayers and the district. We then got into healthcare for just a bit, before discussing a listener question on how more money means better students — or better student outcomes. And that led into a conversation about how kids have changed in Havlicek’s time in schools with the evolution of cellphones and the negative impact they have on things as simple as interacting with each other.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 1974 NBA Finals was a classic 7-game affair between the Celtics and the Bucks in which the road team won 5 games, including the final 4 contests. The Bucks won a thrilling double overtime game 6, in Boston to bring it back to Milwaukee. All the momentum was with the Bucks. But there was one thing in Bostons favor: Celtics Pride. Boston Globe Hall of Fame writer Bob Ryan literally wrote the book on that titled Celtics Pride: The Rebuilding of Boston's World Championship Basketball Team. It was the first Championship for the C's without Bill Russell and Ryan tells us how Boston shocked the Milwaukee Bucks and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to win banner #12. Could the Bucks have won had they had their star point guard, Lucius Allen? Lucius seems to think so. But a knee injury sidelined Allen for the series and the Celtics took advantage of that. Ryan and Allen join us for a wonderful discussion of what took place 50 years ago and what could have been. The favorites Kareem and Oscar vs the underdogs Havlicek and Cowens.

La Crosse Central High School Spanish teacher John Havlicek joins to discuss proposed teaching bills, how per pupil state funding is way behind — despite Gov. Tony Evers 400-year plan — standards based grading and sharks giving new meaning to water hazard on golf courses. Began the show running down the eight bills proposed in Madison by the state teacher's union and then discussed the school district's transition to standards based grading. After that, we talked about how per pupil funding has lagged in the state for over a decade and will continue to do so, despite Gov. Tony Evers' veto trick to boost it for the next 402 years. Ended talking about sharks on a golf course and touching on each of the aforementioned (and below) teacher bills.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La Crosse Central High School Spanish teacher John Havlicek in studio talking about details within the Wisconsin state budget proposal on education, manufacturing and healthcare, as well as a rally educators held in Madison last weekend. Along with that, we got Havlicek's take on some of the more national talking points when it comes to education and teachers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John Havlicek, our pseudo Wisconsin state budget proposal expert, and La Crosse Central Spanish teacher joins. We, of course, dive into some of the state budget proposals when it comes to education. That included how schools are funded, "per pupil" money and how voucher schools fit — or don't — into the public education system. Republicans, who recently stripped over 500 items out of Evers' version of the budget, are in the process of crafting their own version, to be released some time in the summer. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John Havlicek joins to talk about details in the upcoming Wisconsin budget, including his public comments and medicaid expansion. Havlicek has been a Central High School teacher for 25 years and we like to use him on the show as one of our "political blowhard." He was at a Joint Finance Committee public budget hearing in the Dells, discussing education. We also talked about Wisconsin not accepting Medicaid expansion for the past dozen years and the ramifications from that. Ended the show quick talking about the La Crosse School District transitioning to standards-based grading.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John Havlicek in studio, to talk about what's at stake in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. With the balance of the state Supreme Court on the line, Havlicek talks about how issues that could come before it may be ruled on more politically — like redistricting or the 174-year-old abortion ban in Wisconsin. Havlicek is a longtime Central High School Spanish teacher, and we began the show talking about students' attention spans now versus, essentially, before cellphones. One other topic that did come up was standard based grading, that Havlicek gave his opinion on, as the La Crosse School District discusses that change from letter grading. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Longtime La Crosse Central Spanish teacher John Havlicek joined. Among the topics discussed included the state of teachers and the teaching profession right now, where the La Crosse School District goes with a consolidation plan, and just some interesting aspects Havlicek experiences in teaching. In the middle, however, we also talked politics, including the effects of rigging district lines for one party or another.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Long-time Central Spanish teacher John Havlicek in studio. Highlight of the show was brainstorming ways to make debates a little more entertaining — like, perhaps, more like a game show.

Hit a bit of everything today with La Crosse Education Foundation president John Havlicek, from the misconstruing of Critical Race Theory to fit the "outrage agenda" to the benefits of teaching foreign language to students beginning at an early age -- something the state isn't mandating, while it tries to make cursive teaching mandatory.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's episode of the Celtics Pride Podcast with Adam Motenko, Josh Motenko @coachmotenko and Mike Minkoff @mikeminkoffnba, the crew brings in special Guest Rich Jensen, who received rave internal reviews for his CelticsBlog article “Greatness, Glory and The Truth” about Paul Pierce's legacy in the wake of his recent NBA Hall Of Fame Induction. One commenter stated “this is one of the best articles I've ever read on celticsblog.” Go check it out and tune into this podcast, to hear where we think Paul Pierce ranks among his contemporaries of his era like Kobe, Lebron, Wade, Iverson, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Reggie Miller and Grant Hill.   Rich Jensen wrote about the difference between generations of Celtics fans. “My dad had grown up with Russell and Cousy, Heinsohn and Havlicek. I grew up with Dee Brown and Reggie Lewis, Rick Fox and Brian Shaw.” Tune in to see where Rich (and his dad) would put Pierce in the rankings of Celtics lore. Like Rich's dad's Celtics, this podcast is somewhat slow-paced, but is overflowing with mystique.   “When he was a kid, my dad had a TV that probably weighed as much as a car, and the only thing that was on basketball wise was the Celtics. He grew up in a town of 200 people in South Dakota, similar to what it was like in the movie hoosiers. My dad was a fan of John Havelicek when he was at Ohio State before the Celtics even drafted him.”   Rich continues the conversation by remembering Reggie Lewis, so the Celtics PRIDE team asks Rich where he would rank Lewis - and Jayson Tatum - in comparison to Pierce. This podcast is dedicated to anyone who remembers the 1980s, and loves Celtics basketball.   Remember to rate, review, and subscribe to the Celticsblog podcast feed (“Celtics PRIDE”) and follow us on Twitter @celticspridepod, a @celticsblog podcast.  Hosts: Adam Motenko, Josh Motenko @coachmotenko and Mike Minkoff, @mikeminkoffnba  Email: at celticspridepodcast@gmail.com You can find regular episodes of the CelitcsPod and Celtics PRIDE podcasts on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever else you listen to your podcasts.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.09.11.292565v1?rss=1 Authors: Gupta, R., Dittmeier, M., Wohlleben, G., Luzak, V., Wegat, V., Segebarth, D., Bady, E., Langlhofer, G., Wachter, B., Havlicek, S., Lüningschrör, P., Villmann, C., Polat, B., Monoranu, C. M., Kuper, J., Blum, R. Abstract: Trk receptors and gene fusions of NTRK are targets in precision oncology. Classical Trk signalling concepts fail to explain ligand-independent signalling of intracellular TrkB or NTRK fusion proteins. Here, we show that abundance of the intracellular domain of TrkB is sufficient for ligand-independent autophosphorylation. This constitutive TrkB signalling reduced actin filopodia dynamics, could phosphorylate FAK, and changed cell morphology. Mutating Y705 in the kinase domain of TrkB alone specifically blocked these pathways. Engineered intracellular kinase domain proteins and a cancer-related intracellular NTRK2-fusion protein (SQSTM1-NTRK2) also underwent constitutive activation. In migrating glioblastoma-like U87MG cells, self-active TrkB kinase reduced cell migration. Moreover, we found evidences for constitutively active, intracellular TrkB in tissue of human grade IV glioblastoma. Structural modelling of the kinase domain let us postulate that 'release from cis-autoinhibition by abundance' is sufficient for TrkB/FAK/Actin signalling via Y705. These constitutive signalling pathways could be fully blocked within minutes by clinically approved, anti-tumorigenic Trk inhibitors. In conclusion, our data provide an explanation and biological function for TrkB kinase domain signalling in the absence of a ligand. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.08.22.261693v1?rss=1 Authors: Kashyap, S., Ivanov, D., Havlicek, M., Huber, L., Poser, B. A., Uludag, K. Abstract: Laminar fMRI at ultra-high magnetic field strength is typically carried out using the Blood Oxygenation Level-Dependent (BOLD) contrast. Despite its unrivalled sensitivity to detecting activation, the BOLD contrast is limited in its spatial specificity due to signals stemming from intra-cortical ascending and pial veins. Alternatively, regional changes in perfusion (i.e., cerebral blood flow through tissue) are colocalised to neuronal activation, which can be non-invasively measured using arterial spin labelling (ASL) MRI. In addition, ASL provides a quantitative marker of neuronal activation in terms of perfusion signal, which is simultaneously acquired along with the BOLD signal. However, ASL for laminar imaging is challenging due to the lower SNR of the perfusion signal and higher RF power deposition i.e., specific absorption rate (SAR) of ASL sequences. In the present study, we present for the first time in humans, isotropic sub-millimetre spatial resolution functional perfusion images using Flow-sensitive Alternating Inversion Recovery (FAIR) ASL with a 3D-EPI readout at 7T. We show that robust statistical activation maps can be obtained with perfusion-weighting in a single session. We observed the characteristic BOLD amplitude increase towards the superficial laminae, and, in apparent discrepancy, the relative perfusion profile shows a decrease of the amplitude and the absolute perfusion profile a much smaller increase towards the cortical surface. Considering the draining vein effect on the BOLD signal using model-based spatial 'convolution', we show that the empirically measured perfusion and BOLD profiles are, in fact, consistent with each other. This study demonstrates that laminar perfusion fMRI in humans is feasible at 7T and that caution must be exercised when interpreting BOLD signal laminar profiles as direct representation of the cortical distribution of neuronal activity.

Companies, international organizations and government agencies are all working to identify and eliminate online hate speech and extremism. It’s a game of cat and mouse: as regulators develop effective tools and new policies, the extremists adapt their approaches to continue their efforts. In this episode of Big Tech, Taylor Owen speaks with Sasha Havlicek, founding CEO of the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, about her organization and how it is helping to eliminate online extremism and hate speech. Several issues make Havlicek’s work difficult. The first challenge is context: regional, cultural and religious traditions play a factor in defining what is and what is not extremist content. Second, there isn’t a global norm about online extremism to reference. Third, jurisdictions present hurdles; who is responsible for deciding on norms and setting rules? And finally, keeping up with evolving technology and tactics is a never-ending battle. As online tools become more effective in identifying and removing online extremism and hate speech, extremist groups find ways to circumvent the systems. These problems are amplified by engagement-driven algorithms. While the internet enables individuals to choose how and where they consume content, platforms exploit users’ preferences to keep them engaged. “The algorithms are designed to find ways to hold your attention, … that by feeding you slightly more titillating variants of whatever it is that you're looking for, you are going to be there longer. And so that drive towards more sensationalist content is I think a real one,” Havlicek says. These algorithms contribute to the creation of echo chambers, which are highly effective tools for converting users to extremists.

Esta semana seguimos con el análisis de las series de segunda ronda. Hablamos de nuestras peleas favoritas en la historia de la NBA. Discutimos sobre la camisas mas vendidas en la liga y cuales serían nuestras camisas favoritas de cualquier jugador en la historia y despedimos a uno de los grandes: Hondo.

Jason and Rich celebrate the life and career of the late, great John Havlicek. The show begins with a look at Havlicek’s innovative and inspiring play-style, his role as the Sixth Man on dominant Boston Celtics teams and his emergence as Boston’s top scoring option. Next, we look at the many accolades of Havlicek’s career including being named to 13 All-Star teams, eight times an NBA champion, 11-time All-NBA (including four times as All-NBA First Team), eight-time All-Defense and many more. Additional topics include where the “Hondo” nickname originated from, Havlicek being drafted by the NFL’s Cleveland Browns as well as his spot among the all-time leaders in points, games played and more. Then we get into the primary topic of the show and look at Havlicek’s greatest individual games including a 40-point performance against the Royals in 1964, his legendary and iconic steal in Game 7 of the Eastern Division Finals against the Philadelphia 76ers, another 40-point game in a big spot this time Game 6 of the 1968 NBA Finals against Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and the Los Angeles Lakers and a huge 38-point, 14-rebound, 13-assist triple-double against the expansion Portland Trail Blazers. We also re-live Havlicek’s 54-point game against the Hawks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semis in 1973, an all-time great game and performance from Havlicek in Game 6 of the 1974 NBA Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks and finally, Hondo’s final game in the NBA on April 9, 1978 (also the last game of the Buffalo Braves). Last but not least, we take listener questions about a variety of Havlicek-related topics including questions on how different his career would’ve been not coming off the bench, whether he ever seriously considered jumping to the ABA, his ranking as an all-time Boston Celtics player and more!

Forget about the Al Horford defense articles. His playoff performances have been so overwhelming that he practically writes them for us. Mike Budenholtzer called for more fouls. The Bucks probably didn't play Brook Lopez enough. We had a bit of a Celtics schmooze party in this one.  Horford shut down Giannis Antetokounmpo as the central figure in Boston's scheme to slow the Bucks' superstar. He even stuffed Giannis into oblivion two straight times inside. In all, the Celtics unloaded the best interior defensive performance he's seen all season.  Alex and Bobby give cold reaction to the Celtics' dominant showing in Game 1.

Some encouraging news came out of Celtics practice as Marcus Smart was seen on video doing a full sprint up and down the court earlier today. Brad Stevens shared his thoughts this afternoon on the Bucks, specifically Giannis Antentounkounmpo. Celtics legend John Havlicek passed away last night at age of 79. He played all 16 of his NBA seasons with the Celtics and was an 8-time champion.

What's the difference between the Bogdanovics? Tony East fills us in on that, Nate McMillan, the Pacers' rotations and more entering Game 1 of the first round of the long-awaited NBA Playoffs. Marcus Smart is out and Indiana could break into some smaller sets to pull Marcus Morris into action.

Alex Kungu and Justin Rowan agree on one thing, Kyrie Irving's headed to the New York Knicks. We imagine the possibility of life without Irving after the Celtics won against the Cavaliers without him. Could Nike be in on the action? Rowan has a theory. As well as insight on flipping the switch.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Celtics continue to struggle to assert control over the flow of games, losing large leads and falling further away in the face of small deficits. Kyrie Irving talks flipping the switch. Is there any chance he travels to Cleveland next week?  Bobby makes the case for the 76ers as a first-round wake-up call for the Celtics, and gripes on about the Celts' inability to reach the free throw line. Alex makes the case against benching Marcus Morris and the notion that Philadelphia reached a turning point this week over Boston.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bobby's officially out, Chris still thinks the Celtics can turn this thing around. After five losses in five games, including a stinker at the Bulls and blowout losses to the Rockets and Raptors, Boston sunk back to its old ways. They look dejected, Kyrie Irving isn't talking and can't seem to get up for these post-all-star break games after winning 10 of 11 before. How low could this sink, and should we start preparing for Irving and Al Horford to leave?  What does this season start to say about Brad Stevens? We touch on the starting lineup that worked initially but has struggled of late, including whether it's time to start Jaylen Brown.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bobby and Chris discuss their biggest storylines from the pre-All-Star break Celtics. The guys each pick three things that stuck out to them from the first 70 percent of Boston’s season. From the importance of Al Horford, to Gordon Hayward’s confidence, to Kyrie Irving’s drama, the guys discuss it all. Even the emergence of Time Lord! Learn more about your ad choices.

The Celtics had fun again in Philadelphia as Boston trounced the 76ers behind maybe the dunk of the season by Jayson Tatum. Marcus Smart dunked off one leg, Al Horford held it down on Joel Embiid and the new Sixers additions made a quiet debut against Brad Stevens and company.  The C's have won 21 of 24 against Philly, and 11 of 14 overall, so why the panic? Is the fun that big of a factor, as Marcus Morris says? How much stock do we put in the two Lakers and Clippers losses despite all the recent winning? Stevens pointed inward after one of them, signaling 2nd and 3rd quarter lineup changes. We also weigh in on Ben Simmons tampering, an Isaiah Thomas return and the Marc Gasol addition for the Raptors.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bobby and Chris discuss the Celtics position with less than 24 hours left until the trade deadline. What does Tobias Harris' arrival in Philadelphia mean for Boston and the rest of the East? The guys also discuss who they'd want to see the Celtics go after in the buyout market if they're able to trade Jabari Bird.   With all of these trade rumors, it's easy to forget the Celtics have won 10 of their last 11 and 5 in a row. The guys talk about the team's recent success heading into Thursday's matchup with LeBron and the Lakers.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bobby believes it's over. Chris is holding out hope for the summer. Diverse angles on the impact of Anthony Davis requesting a trade from the Pelicans before the deadline, when Boston can't acquire him. Could the Pelicans wait until the summer? The Bird Writes' smearing of the Lakers package offers some hope, but sneaky suitors like the Raptors or Nuggets could emerge into the fold.  One thing we can agree on: these Kyrie Irving rumors are probably bogus, but that doesn't mean he's a 100% lock to stay in Boston no matter what happens.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Celtics fell to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night at TD Garden, but Bobby and Chris discuss how it wasn't all doom and gloom following the final whistle. What do the Celtics do with Gordon Hayward? He struggled again on Saturday and continues to have problems finding any sort of consistency. The guys also discuss how many Boston fans acted like the sky was falling after the loss to Golden State, and why that it's irrational.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Chemistry concerns are back with the Celtics. Three bad losses to the Heat, Magic and Nets for the Celtics all came with their own sliver of disfunction. Brad Stevens wasn't concerned about Marcus Morris and Jaylen Brown beefing on the sideline, but then Irving shook his head at Gordon Hayward after a failed buzzer-beater attempt by Jayson Tatum then critiqued the team in the locker room. Jaylen Brown possibly shot back after the Nets loss.  Is this group able to be fixed? Plus: big struggles for Terry Rozier and a look at tonight's big one against the Raptors.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Boston Celtics legend and NBA Hall of Famer Frank Ramsey died yesterday at the age of 86. Ramsey played for the Boston Celtics from 1954 to 1964, winning seven championship titles in the process. Jaylen Brown indicated that he is strongly considering playing in two summer league games with the Celtics.

Like... maybe? No seriously, the Cavs should win the East since they still have that LeBron James guy but the second best team in the East is absolutely the 76ers. No, it's not the Raptors. More like Craptors, imho. Maybe if the Raptors get some luck and draw the 76ers in the second round, but seeing as they're going to have to play the Cavs it looks like curtains for them earlier than they had hoped. But can the 76ers beat the beleaguered Celtics? Sure, why the hell not? The most intriguing Eastern Conference Finals matchup - by far - is the team with Simmons and Embiid vs. LeBron. As for the Western Conference playoffs: all 15 teams are still eligible for the 3 seed. No one will have any idea who is in the playoffs until the Wolves play the Nuggets on the final day of the season. ONLY THEN will we have even the slightest bit of a clue as to whomst is playing.

Curtis Harris of Pro Hoops History joins us again to discuss the 1967 Philadelphia 76ers, the record-setting team that ended the Boston Celtics' 8-year championship streak, on the latest episode of the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast. We talk about Curtis' project with the 76ers called Spirit of the Champion (http://www.nba.com/sixers/spiritofthechampion), commemorating the 68-win championship team that is on the short list of greatest teams in pro basketball history, and what it was like to attend the team's 50th anniversary dinner. We look at how the team fits at a key juncture in NBA history, when the ABA and expansion began to dramatically change the sport. We discuss how the franchise transitioned from the Syracuse Nationals in the early 1960s, how established stars like Hal Greer and Chet Walker adjusted to Wilt Chamberlain joining the team in 1965, the brutal playoff losses to the Celtics (including "Havlicek stole the ball" in 1965), what in Chamberlain's game changed in 1967, and how coach Alex Hannum knew how to work with superstars and bench players and everyone in between. We also discuss the smooth shooting and rugged defense of Greer, Walker's clutch scoring, Billy Cunningham springing all over the court, Luke Jackson's prowess on the boards, Wali Jones' perimeter freedom, and Larry Costello being the old man of the team. We also talk about the contributions of the tough Dave Gambee, rookie Matt Guokas, Bill Melchionni and Bob Weiss, and what ended up preventing the Sixers from becoming a dynasty.

I imagine the guys who first faced Bill Russell felt like I did when I had to guard Antoine Carr in high school. I “held” Carr to 32 points. But no dunks! Russell’s opponents in college and the NBA rarely fared any better. Sports talk is full of hyperbole, but in Russell’s case most of it is true. In his time, he was far and away the best player to ever step on the court and, for most of his career, he completely owned every court he stepped on. He was so dominant that they changed the rules so less gifted players would have a chance. Bill Russell, however, was not only a surpassingly great basketball player, he was also an African American star in an era in which being an African American star (or just being an African American) was very complicated. Today we are used to seeing outstandingly successful blacks in all (or almost all) spheres of life. In the mid-1950s that just wasn’t true. The American ruling elite was lily white, and that’s the way most white Americans thought it should be. Bill Russell (and Jackie Robinson, Althea Gibson, Willie Mays, Cassius Clay, Jim Brown, among others) were anomalies: they were black, but they were both extraordinarily accomplished and remarkably famous. They couldn’t just be athletes; they had to be symbols of some promising (or frightening) new world as well. That’s quite a burden to bear. In King of the Court: Bill Russell and the Basketball Revolution (University of California Press, 2010), Aram Goudsouzian has done a great service by detailing the ways Russell bore this weight, and the ways in which he fought to throw it off. Aram makes clear that Russell was a conflicted soul. He lacked self-confidence, but he was brusk and even arrogant. He was friendly and gregarious to some, but often simply rude to others. He was hot tempered, but he affected a cool, distant demeanor. He believed he was a man of principle (and convinced others he was), but he periodically abandoned his family for a playboy lifestyle. If Russell couldn’t be honest about himself, he insisted on being honest about everything and everyone around him. He meant what he said and said what he meant–about race, about sports, about anything that bothered him. He was a sort of athletic Socrates, always questioning and never fully accepting the way things were. And, like Socrates, Russell was willing to suffer for his beliefs. As Aram points out, he did in many ways. But in the process he gained the respect of almost everyone he encountered. He was a hard man to like, but he was an easy man to admire. I should add that if you like white-hot game narratives, this book is full of them. Remember this?: “Greer is putting the ball in play. He gets it out deep and Havlicek steals it! Over to Sam Jones… Havlicek stole the ball! It’s all over… It’s all-l-l-l over!” Johnny Most, RIP. Please become a fan of “New Books in History” on Facebook if you haven’t already.

Bill Russell (and Jackie Robinson, Althea Gibson, Willie Mays, Cassius Clay, Jim Brown, among others) were anomalies: they were black, but they were both extraordinarily accomplished and remarkably famous. They couldn’t just be athletes; they had to be symbols of some promising (or frightening) new world as well. That’s quite a burden to bear. In King of the Court: Bill Russell and the Basketball Revolution (University of California Press, 2010), Aram Goudsouzian has done a great service by detailing the ways Russell bore this weight, and the ways in which he fought to throw it off. Aram makes clear that Russell was a conflicted soul. He lacked self-confidence, but he was brusk and even arrogant. He was friendly and gregarious to some, but often simply rude to others. He was hot tempered, but he affected a cool, distant demeanor. He believed he was a man of principle (and convinced others he was), but he periodically abandoned his family for a playboy lifestyle. If Russell couldn’t be honest about himself, he insisted on being honest about everything and everyone around him. He meant what he said and said what he meant–about race, about sports, about anything that bothered him. He was a sort of athletic Socrates, always questioning and never fully accepting the way things were. And, like Socrates, Russell was willing to suffer for his beliefs. As Aram points out, he did in many ways. But in the process he gained the respect of almost everyone he encountered. He was a hard man to like, but he was an easy man to admire. I should add that if you like white-hot game narratives, this book is full of them. Remember this?: “Greer is putting the ball in play. He gets it out deep and Havlicek steals it! Over to Sam Jones… Havlicek stole the ball! It’s all over… It’s all-l-l-l over!” Johnny Most, RIP. Please become a fan of “New Books in History” on Facebook if you haven’t already.

I imagine the guys who first faced Bill Russell felt like I did when I had to guard Antoine Carr in high school. I “held” Carr to 32 points. But no dunks! Russell's opponents in college and the NBA rarely fared any better. Sports talk is full of hyperbole, but in Russell's case most of it is true. In his time, he was far and away the best player to ever step on the court and, for most of his career, he completely owned every court he stepped on. He was so dominant that they changed the rules so less gifted players would have a chance. Bill Russell, however, was not only a surpassingly great basketball player, he was also an African American star in an era in which being an African American star (or just being an African American) was very complicated.
