Finally !!!!!
A long overdue jersey retirement. Kevin Garnett is the reason the Celtics have been a winning franchise, even to this day, after the lost seasons we endured post-Larry. The loss of Len and Reggie, the string of struggling coaches, the destruction wrought by Rick Pitino and the agony of the 2006-07 season. Garnett did return the winning culture to the franchise that had been absent during those years. He brought back Celtic Pride.
I hope the young core of the current team took a real good look today at what Boston Celtics basketball is all about.
I hope that, they too, will spend time looking up at the rafters and all the titles and numbers that watch over them every season.
I hope they took some lessons to heart today and focus more on their team and the franchise and less on themselves as individuals.
I hope.
