Bill Doyle has been a sports writer for the Worcester Telgram and Gazette for 25 years has been covering the Celtics for the last 15.
Well respected among his peers, Bill's game stories are impeccable, while he also has an ear for the humorous, as displayed by this quote, from his column of Dec. 15th , from Glen Davis, on his first experience with a Boston blizzard....
......while Marc Spears, took a more traditional route.
Our other guest, David Miller is a sports reporter on 1420AM The BREEZE (Plymouth, Wi) and grew up playing basketball in Indiana where he once had the pleasure of running into "Larry Legend" on the "concrete."
...the summer of 1975, a tournament was held in a small town in Southern Indiana whose population was a mere 2,200. The high school had a cracker jack box of a gym like the movie Hoosiers, and in a state where large numbers of people are known to gather at the mere sound of a dribbling basketball, our two team's met.
Playing out doors on a concrete court and wooden backboards, Bird, who has brought a team (four starters) that four years later ('79) would play for the National Championship against Michigan State and Magic Johnson. Our team was just a bunch of friends (farm boys) who grew up playing ball together, but of course we grew up playing the game the right way together as well (wink).

.......“It was like driving in mud,” he said.
Davis said he wove through traffic and it took him only 30 minutes to get home after leaving at 7 p.m. Asked if he drove in the oncoming lane, Davis replied with a laugh: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
