Ditto. I remember Chris Schenkel broadcasting NBA basketball for ABC in the early '60's....first time I ever saw Russell and Havlicek and the Jones gang on the tube....became a Celtics fan and went out and learned to jumpshoot bank shots in 8th grade. Tried to do a Bailey Howell running hookshot but never figured it out....:}
I learned how to shoot (and finally hit) free throws by copying Bill Russell. Those Celtics were awesome.
