It was fan appreciate night last evening at the TD Garden, and those who attended were treated to a celebration of one of the greatest plays in NBA-history:
Celtics honor John Havlicek and the 50th anniversary of "Havlicek steals the ball." https://t.co/zOZbam3HthOne current member of the Celtics, 21-year old Marcus Smart, certainly wasn't alive to experience the event. Smart joked after the game about his memory of the steal:
Marcus Smart on "Havlicek stole the ball": "I was really little (when it happened). Check that, I wasn't even a twinkle."
