Great pic. I have to admit, it's making me mist up a bit.

A very solid player at both ends of the court, and a clutch shot in the final minute. RIP.

Tall people, as I recall, often die young from heart problems. Short, fat people never die from heart problems, eh?

Sorry to hear that. I loved those Celtics teams. The 86 Celtics were my favorite pro team of all-time in any sport to watch.

This isn't the place for baseless speculation.

Five years ago it was horrible but I think the league has improved a lot recently. The Suns are amazingly fun to watch as are the Mavs. I enjoy the Spurs too. The league also has a crop of humble young stars like Dwayne Wade, Lebron James, and Dwight Howard. I think the level of play overall is much higher in the league than five years ago and its a lot more fun to watch. I'm still a college man though.

Is that comment meant to be cute or stupid?

The old 'gave it away' thing, huh?
Well, I'll play. The Mavericks gave it away last year.
Hope they don't do that again.

The 86 Celtics were my favorite pro team of all-time in any sport to watch. My favorite Celtics team goes back to Jo Jo White, Don Cheney, Don Nelson, Paul Silas, Dave Cowens, Satch Sanders. Still can't figure out how that bunch of old farts did it.

D.J. was such a nice player. Part of a great team back then. Sad.
