[net.sport.hoops] Big Red, Red, Green and Whites

		      Was I correct in hearing that 9 of the 12 Celtics
	 are white. Is red trying the whiten the green? If I'm not
	 mistaken, the Boston Red Sox were the last Major League team
	 to get a black player. I think it was even as late as 1967.

                       I think the addition of Walton is an
         excellent move. He is a great player and his whole game
         always emphasized fundamentals so I'm not worried about
         his age.  Living in L.A., I've seen him play with the
         Clippers and he is an awesome rebounder when he wants to
         be. He can just dominate the boards at times.

         I think he'll be healthy because he's psyched up to play
         with a contender, his boyhood faves, the Celts. Plenty
         of stars have come back after they were traded. I think
         he's brittle because he's a vegetarian. They'll make a
	 meateater out of him. Not to mention a Lakerbreaker.
