Celtics basketball was my favorite sport for the longest time. I can remember watching Russell with my father as a kid then the Cowens , Haveliceck team in college and then the "Glory years" when Bird came on board. Then Larry got hurt and retired , Bias croaked and so did Reggie and the whole team went to nothing. I lost interest. Basketball as a whole is so poor now that if you watched it in the 70's and 80's , you wonder what happened to the talent in the league. The best guys in the league now couldn't even have made the first Dream Team and now we can't even beat lithuania in the Olypics with pros playing. Its like the sport got a terminal illness.
anyway , I hope the Celtics do well and the sport is revived in this area again.
