Dennis Johnson was my favorite non-Larry Celtic when I was growing up on the mean basketball courts of Bath, Maine.
Had the DJ caricature T-shirt from TJ Maxx and everything. NBA caricature shirts were the pinnacle of 1980s fashion and should be back in style any day now. Pretty sure I read that in Vogue.
As any Celtics fan with a sense of history knows, DJ also happened to be Larry’s favorite non-Larry Celtic. Bird revealed this during an interview with Lakers broadcaster Chick Hearn during the Celtics’ visit to Los Angeles in February 1985.
