Nah. Not even close.
Scooter would acknowledge the occasional error or strikeout by the Mick. Johnny commentated (love that word!) on Celtics games for maybe 20 years and never noticed that Russ or Hondo or Larry or Kevin ever committed a single turnover, let alone a personal foul.
Some of the fondest memories I have are watching the Celtic games with my father while listening to Johnny on the radio. His calls ranged from legendary to comedic and was an absolute icon in broadcast history. I can still remember the "And......Now there's a steal by Bird ! Underneath to DJ, who lays it in!!...Right at one second left!! What a play by Bird! Bird stole the inbounding pass, laid it up to DJ, and DJ laid it up and in, and Boston has a one-point lead with one second left! OH, MY, THIS PLACE IS GOING CRAZY" call like it was yesterday.
