thanks greenbean... I've been a daily visitor to this site for years now. I was a sophmore in college when the C's got the big 3 going... I made the decision to throw everything I owned and some into getting season tickets and have managed to keep them since that day. I'm a diehard fan like the rest of us here. I somehow managed to keep my mouth shut, or fingers glued, and prefer to just read up on other peoples opinions, all of which are appreciated.

On the flip side, I managed to hold my tickets throughout my college days by designing a t-shirt and selling it outside the garden on game nights, running inside to catch the game, and sprinting out to sell a few t's. "Bleed Green" on the front of a kelly green shirt with BOSTON 18 on the back. Although I now find myself in the financial industry, several years out of college, I still enjoy going to the game a bit early and have fun selling shirts and talking to other fans in the process. It's certainly interesting when a client of my company I work for recognizes me from a meeting held earlier in the day... even better, selling a bleed green shirt to David Ortiz caused quite the stir.

I'm always looking on the bright side of things all Celtic's things related. I'm considered a homer among my groups of friends and I couldn't agree more... I also tend to be more right than wrong ;)

Go Celtics... Go J. Lin, amazing story. Really can't make this stuff up. Till next time!

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
I didn't choose either option because I don't feel comfortable limiting Lin to being a "player".  I think the words to properly describe him haven't been invented yet.

I don't think he will ever be considered the best player ever because he will be assumed into heaven before he gets a ring.

OMG.....yes Lin is 10 times better than Larry Bird , and much better at guard than Kobe or MJ.  Why would you ever want Kevin Love or Blake Griffin when you can have Lin... Why maybe one day CP3 can be good as Lin .

No doubt he is the best talent to ever play in the NBA

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
you left out the 'best troll post ever?' option
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

I just took Bill Simmons's Book of Basketball and burned it.  800 pages and no mention of the best player ever renders his book irrelevant.

It was written be4 Jeremy Lin that explains everything

False. Nothing was before Lin. Lin is Eternal.
