The Celtics were fabulous back in the 80s. Ainge, McHale, Bird....

You have no idea how I get chills thinking about the Celtics (and the NBA, in general) of the 80s.

My two favorite classic NBA games are the Bird/Wilkins scoring duel in '88, and the Jordan 63-point game against the Celts in the playoffs in 86. They used to replay those games on ESPN Classic quite a bit, and Dan Patrick used to host a show on ESPN called "NBA's Greatest Games," or something along those lines.
I was really young for both of those games (I'm 27), but I wish I had a clearer memory of when they were played.

ESPN Classic is a Godsend.
Your post is full of legends. I wonder how many legends will come from the new NBA.

By far the best part was KG hugging Bill Russell and asking "Did we make you proud?" about 9 times. Russell says yes, so KG asks the next most pressing question:
"Thank God - now you gotta tell me where to go out tonight."
Absolutely my favorite sports moment since the World Series.

That was awesome. I also got chills hearing how loud the crowd was throughout the game, especially as the Celts extended their lead.
I got to be a big of a Celts fan during college and while I was living in Boston, as I happened to be able to get tickets to quite a few games.
It's times like last night that I really miss living in Boston, and can't wait to go back there after law school. The city must have been insane last night.

I mean, if you insist on putting 80s drafts in the list. Please pay respects to Webb and Bogues.
Can the 2 shortest men in the NBA (who had GAME) get some love?
