Often underestimated Celtics Coach K.C. Jones, the sidekick guard who accompanied Russell to eleven college, Olympic and pro parades, likes to tick off the essential reasons he considers Bird the "best total player" ever. "Attitude.

Typical Ashram lunch: a small fruit plate, plus a dish of cottage cheese with six stranded raisins flanking a lone strawberry. A cowbell used to guard the refrigerator from desperate raiders; it was abandoned as excessive, but the food still is not.
