In this book, we examine the relationships between some courageous teammates and coaches, relationships that gave individual athletes the strength to stand for something larger than themselves. This book begins in the 1960s, an era in which Bill Russell and Red Auerbach, Texas Western University, and Tommie Smith and John Carlos provided timeless portraits of bravery and excellence. We then jump forward to the Miami Heat players and other modern-day heroes, allies such as Brendon Ayanbadejo, Kenneth Faried, and Steve Nash, who have shown that you need not wear the same uniform to act like a teammate.
