Simmons is "Executive Producer", which is usually a meaningless title.
Banned temporarily for, among other sins, being "Extremely Deviant".

To be fair to Bill, he did an excellent job with that Bill Russell docu and getting Russ's statue erected in Boston.

Usually means they got the big bosses to sign off on it, and had input in the creative idea and format and approved the final. Not day to day.

It can be that and more.
It can also be less. E.g., Dolly Parton was an executive producer for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I've NEVER heard of her being involved in the show in any way.

Significance of date for Bird? And is it Larry Bird? Sue? Big?
Only one I could find is that’s when he scored 60 in a game. Kinda fitting that it lands on Tatum’s bday.
Had they decided to release it a day earlier, Tatum would have the most documentaries with him actively playing before the age 27 (probably a made-up stat).

One of those players you sometimes forget actually played for the Celtics, like Nique

I wish I could forget that Wilkins played for the Celtics. I went to a Celts-Cavs game (my first ever) during the last season at the Garden, and he was putting up bricks like nobody's business. We had this one guy that yelled, "Go back to Atlanta, idiot!" (even though he came from the Clippers at the time), and the next time Nique hit a shot, I yelled, "Stay in Boston!"
That entire team was a cluster of fudge.

I can’t figure out if there will be a way to watch this in Australia yet unfortunately. We don’t have HBO Max available.

I am very confident it will be either available to watch on Kayo or Binge (they are the streaming services that normally has HBO spots docus)

I have a Binge subscription at the moment and thought they might show it, there is just nothing listed on their website or in the coming soon section yet. Here's hoping they do show it.

I'll be able to get it. So if you're having trouble sourcing it after it's released give me a shout.

Re: Celtics City - Bill Simmons produced HBO docu (airing 3/3)
Am listening to the latest Bill Simmons podcast (who said he has been working on this for 4 years)
It's going to be a 9 part series it seems.
I really hope they also release such an essential series like this on dvd/blu-ray format.
This is the type of essential collectable heirloom I would love to pass down to future generations of my family.

Simmons has now tweeted a sincere-sounding denial that the date has anything to do with Bird's uniform number.
