Game of the Century, at least until the rematch.

I'm drawing a blank:  when is the last time a former Celtic faced us after feeling salty about his departure?  With a lot of the matchups I don't remember the same level of hype.  Rondo, Smart, IT...  I guess the current game is the perfect combination of a 1) star level player 2) with a massive chip on his shoulder 3) traded to a division rival.

Sadly, I can't remember how salty 'Toine was but his first game back in Boston as a Maverick was an incredible game.  National TV and Truth with the game winner with seconds to go.

Kyrie probably with the stomp on the logo.

Nice one.  That's a good comparison.  Flake.

I imagine Antoine would have had some things to say if he had a podcast and social media back in the day.  As I recall, he was pretty salty toward Danny.  That said, he seemed to love the team and the players -- including Paul -- and I don't remember his bitterness being toward anybody but the front office.

I still love Antoine, warts and all.  If they retired numbers based upon how much somebody loved being a Celtic, he'd be in the rafters.

Apparently, since the NBA/ABA merger, only four former All-NBA duos played more games together before facing each other.   Can you name them?

Jordan/Pippen
Curry/Thompson
Stockton/Malone

First two are right.   Stockton & Malone never played against each other, though.

Two down, two to go.

I cheated and looked up the answer so I won't spoil it (I really wanted to know).  I will be very impressed if anyone gets the fourth one.
