I don't like to humanize years but I am going to try to block this one out and never discuss it.

I’m with you. Tommy lives on!! Can’t wait to hear him and Gorman team up again next season.

I saw the news just before NBC Sports Boston started their special remembering him tonight, so I was lucky to be able to catch it. I'm not the most emotional guy in the world, but I found myself tearing up as I watched. Amazing man, who had a great, long life doing things he loved. We should all be so lucky!

Very well said, the part that sucks the most is that the last time he saw the NBA, it was made irrelevant once again by LeChina. All of the hard work by the Tommy's of the world along with Bird, Magic and Mike is for nothing now. He was a great Celtic and even more importantly a wonderful man. It broke my heart this morning seeing that he had past away.

I say we should play this up coming season in Tommy Heinsohn’s honor. Do it for Tommy!!
Eja, did you like Eric Montross because he reminded you of a young Tommy Heinsohn?

If anyone is interested, Bob Ryan has a podcast and he had Tommy on for over an hour before the 18-19 season. They talk about everything from Tommy's playing days, to his coaching and broadcasting days, his painting, some of the great players over the years, and some of the current Celtics. I've been listening to it over the last couple of days and I think you might like it. bobryanbostonpodcast.libsyn.com/bob-ryan-boston-podcast-season-5-episode-1
