There was a disturbing sports news item on one of
the local TV news show (Boston Ch 56 News at 10), claiming
that some doctor somewhere who has examined Larry Bird,
has diagnosed the condition as "acute arthritis", not
bone chips. This wasn't from the team doctor, so it's
not an official diagnosis.
Maybe Bird should be sent to Indiana as compensation
for the signing of Jerry Sichting :-)!!!!
Ironic? My 1985 Celtic calendar has CEDRIC MAXWELL
as the September color picture. What is even more
obtuse is the November Celtic - Gerald Henderson!
Does anyone have a Sichting picture for sale????
Or even a David Thirdkill, the newly signed Celts
savior for 1986-87??
Max deserves to have his number 31 retired at the
Garden, not so much because of the two championships
he contributed to, but because his achievements are
at least equal to that of JoJo White, whose number
is retired. Max was the perfect example of the
Celtic tradition - a player who would and could do
whatever was needed to win. Max could score, rebound,
pass, and play tough 'D'. It is unfortunate that
the bad memories of the recent past will prevent Max
his due honor. No insult intended to JoJo, but I feel
that Max has helped to continue the Celtic Mystique,
at least to the same degree as JoJo did.
"When in doubt, shoot!"
