BOSTON – Wednesday night, members of the Boston Celtics 1966, 1976 and 1986 NBA championship teams collaborated on the TD Garden parquet floor to partake in a ceremony of epic proportions.

Legends such as Bill Russell, Tommy Heinsohn, Tom ‘Satch’ Sanders, John Havlicek, Dave Cowens, Jo Jo White, Kevin McHale and Bill Walton lined up one-by-one at center court – old friends greeting each other as video montages, spanning across three generations, played on the jumbotron above their heads.

All the while, thousands of awestruck, goose-bump-laden fans stood on their feet to witness history, before watching the current Celtics roster storm back from a 26-point deficit and stun the Miami Heat, 98-88.
