Wasn't he the one who caught the pass from Larry Bird, and made the layup, after Bird intercepted the Pistons in-bounds pass at the end of Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals in '85 or '86? That was one of the most dramatic plays in the history of sports.
Correct.
Yes he was during Game 5 of the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals against Detroit. My father and I screamed so loud we woke everyone up.
Yep, DJ caught the pass from Bird & made the basket....Great moment in sport.
Yes, one of great shots of all time.
Unfortunately (for Celtic fans) it was in the 1987 eastern conference finals so it was merely the precursor to the Green losing to the Lakers in the finals 4 to 2.

"BIRD STEALS THE BALL! BIRD STEALS THE BALL!"
Dead at 52? Darn. Enjoyed watching DJ play ball.
