Who doesn’t remember their first Boston Celtics game? For most of us, it’s a twinkle in our distant memory; no matter what else clouds our existence, it stands firm, shining.
My first Celtics game was in the early 2000’s, so long ago I can’t remember the year or any of the Celtics’ players (though it’s safe to assume #34 and #8 were out there). I do remember Shaq and Kobe, who traveled across the country to face their historic rivals. At the time, I knew nothing of this rivalry; all I knew was that I enjoyed watching and surrounding myself with the game.
