As far as I know he's had that since freshman year which means probably high school. He was doin em on the court at Okie State.

My impression - which I think is more objective and less tinged by homerism - is that the team looks more like the flawed team we thought they were at the start of season than a legit contender. Hope I am wrong.

Post-Bird but Pre-KG, which Celtics team iteration had the best chance of reaching the Finals? I know the 2002 Celtics got to the Conference Finals, but in terms of overall talent and fan expectation, which group did you think should've gone deepest in the playoffs? And how does this year's group compare to any of the post-Bird/pre-KG teams?

I like the question, and would say that Pierce/Walker/Battie/Kenny Anderson team, no doubt. That was the only team from 1992 to 2008 that gained any national attention, think they got to #5 in someone’s “power rankings” once which blew my success-starved mind. What we have now feels reminiscent but is >> by a bit IMO. I loved PP and AW but would take JB and JT over them as building blocks, for example.
