Amir Johnson all in with Celtics -- and his new city

WALTHAM, Mass. -- Amir Johnson has been able to wander his new home largely unperturbed. Even at 6 feet 9 with a fierce and recognizable beard, the Boston Celtics' big free-agent splurge has been able to feast at Faneuil Hall and stroll Patriots Place at Gillette Stadium before checking out an Ed Sheeran concert without drawing much fanfare. But that will probably change soon.

In Toronto, Johnson was the city's favorite (adopted) son. He handed out free Drake albums after buying out two stores worth of CDs. He had a float in the city's Caribana festival.
