Long overdue.  I am so overjoyed by this announcement on so many levels. First its great news during these anxious moments for Celtics fans. Second its about time the greatest in winner in Boston and sports history gets immortalized in this city.  The Celtics always seem to get the short end of the stick here.  And finally, its a wonderful honor for a civil rights champion and a great symbol to represent how far this city has come in terms of race relations.  Congrats Bill and the City of Boston. We love ya Russ
