Well spoken.  We fans enjoy our games, but we really feel validated when 
someone on "our team" rises above it all to excel as a player and as a human 
being.  I don't live in Boston any more, but from what I read, Mo Vaughn was 
adored in Boston for being a star and a good person, albeit flawed.  Michael 
Jordan was a star and had a certain pizzazz that made him a demigod.  And we 
success-starved Celtic fans WANT to crown Antoine as our hero and savior, but 
he just doesn't seem to want to come to the ceremony ...
