My most recent Celtics game yielded a photo of me sitting on the floor next to a giant photo mural where my body best mimicked that of Travis Knight sitting on the floor. When Ray won his his first Championship ring, it rekindled that goose-bumpy feeling of having 'my' lifelong team winning for the first time in more than 2 decades.
My fondest hope is that my Needham-resident, NBA fan, college best friend is given ample reason to love Kemba as a pro the way I did when he was Runner-up Big East and NCAA Player of the Year in 2010-11. AND, that he gets tickets again through work, so I can join him for a game (too many other great things I can do with the money it costs to attend pro sports live, and enough memories at varying price points to satisfy me if I never again go).
