Today is Evan Turner's 27th birthday, and the Oct. 27 date means, according to the Celtics swingman, that it's his "golden birthday."
Not that he's partcularly stirred up about it, or anything.
"The 27th on the 27th," he said at the start of what grew into a lengthy birthday monologue. "When they told us what it was, I was 8. (A friend) didn’t have to go to school on Nov. 8. So when he told us what it was, I thought I won’t be 27 until it’s my golden birthday and it won’t be cool, because nobody would care anymore.
