Greatest Celtics Traditions (Besides the Obvious)

[RAcker]

Besides the following:

1) 17 World Championships
2) The multitude of Hall of Famers
3) The banners in the Garden
4) The parquet floor

What are the greatest traditions that we as Celtics fans have?  I just wanted to see a list as compiled by the most knowledgeable people on the subject that I know.

I'm going to enjoy the responses.

The simple green and white uniforms that have varied very little over the years (while others have changed greatly)

I knew someone would come through for me on that one.

That's why I hate the alternate unis except the ones for St. Patrick's Day which only add the gold and the style remains intact.  The unis with the black are just bad.

It goes along with the banners, but the retired numbers, etc.

Also, the tradition of trying to keep things "all in the family" with former Celtics being made coaches, GMs, broadcasters, etc.

Also:  Tommy Points, and Tommy and Mike.  And Johnny Most before them.

Yea I love how they uniform has stayed pretty constant and simple, with the green and white.

[ACF]

Laker hate.

(Obvious but always worth the mention  )

Can a sarcastic "Lucky" be added to that?   

[RAcker]

How about the steals?  Havlicek, Henderson, Bird?

a commitment to the team and teamwork.  The name on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back.

I'd also add a run and gun uptempo game, but our halfcourt team of this era isn't really following that tradition.

So many, but for a long time this has been my favorite.
