From Publishers Weekly
From 1959 to 1966 the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association won eight consecutive championships, a record unduplicated in any sport. That story, as well as others in Beantown's record of hoop supremacy, is well told in this fast-moving and readable volume by Boston Globe sportswriter Shaughnessy. He begins and ends with Red Auerbach, who put the organization together and stressed team play, and details the contributions of stars Bob Cousy, Bill Russell, John Havlicek and Larry Bird, emphasizing the players' willingness to put winning ahead of individual statistics. Shaugnessy demolishes the charge that the Celtics are basketball's "white team," pointing out that Boston was the first franchise to field five black players simultaneously and the first to have a black coach. photographs not seen by PW .

From Library Journal
The Celtics own the most National Basketball Association titles (16), regularly sell out at home, and have a stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Shaughnessy, a Boston Globe reporter, lets mentor Red Auerbach and others tell through anecdotes about the success and mystique of the team and its fabled Boston Garden. Ever Green will draw comparison with Bob Ryan's heavily photographic The Boston Celtics ( LJ 11/15/89). Shaughnessy's more up-to-date and smoother narrative belongs in Celtics territory libraries and extensive collections, but others can stick with Ryan.

Reader Reviews
This book can best be described as an extremely long Boston Globe article on the Celtics by Dan Shaughnessy. Shaughnessy covers many tidbits in the book. Many interesting things about the old Boston Garden, Red Auerbach, and the team. Overall, an excellent read for a new Celtics fan (old ones as well).
