I became a fan because of Johnny Most, John Havlicek, Dave Cowens, Jo Jo White, Paul Silas, Hank Finkel, and Coach Heinsohn and reading all of the Red Auerbach stories and that victory cigar. I believe that God plucked my out of the rafters of Boston Garden dropped me headfirst through the hoop into the circle of life. One day with Green Q33 inscribed on my gravestone, I will wake up and report to practice with Coach Auerbach.
