	The Boston Celtics is not a just team of basketball players, but is a world wide family of individuals who bleed green and follow the team through thick and thin. No such thing as fair weather Celtics fans.

Also, Frank Ramsey, the NBA's first premium sixth man and winner of 7 championships with Celtics, died earlier this month.

Not knowing that Hondo had been dealing with Parkinson's, I was a little shocked when I heard the news last night. He was one of those guys who seemed ever-youthful.

Havlicek (I learned last night that it's pronounced Havelchek) came into the league about the same time as I started watching the Celtics. What I remember about him is that he never stopped running and seemingly never got tired. He'd defend an opponent who was a prolific scorer by not letting him get the ball. I don't think I've ever seen anyone else do that, before or since. Super classy guy.

I was lucky enough to be at his last game, where he was honored at half time. The feeling in the old Garden that day was special, 13,909 fans expressing love and gratitude for that man. I'll never forget it.

And of course, he stole a ball once as I recall.

I know, right? We'll never know how bright his star would have been.
