Terrible news. Condolences to his family, friends, and fans.

The greatest homer of all time has left the building.

Noooo ... he was the last link to the old days of the NBA.

All the old timer commentators are gone now.

Argh!

All these corporate approved commentators that all sound the same are everywhere now.

Gorman/Heinsohn was like our local version of Madden & Summerall. 

The GOAT of the local broadcast teams in Boston.

This is really crappy news.   Really wanted to get #18 before he passed.

Wow.

He was supposed to live for ever.

He had such a joy for what he did at all levels.  Sad to lose another legend.  RIP Tommy.  May you be reunited with the Redhead from Needham.
Yup
