older all celtics team

["Liles, Donald" <liles@hr.upenn.edu>]

I think that all of us younger folks would gladly choose many of these
players, but sadly we never got to 
see them play outside of ESPN classic or film at the Basketball Hall of
Fame. I would say that this younger
guy is quite envious that you were able to see the greats. 

I bemoan the NBA today for not being as good as it used to be, and I am only
referring to the 80s. It is a someone
amusing comment compared to the all the hall of famers in the 60s and 70s.

With all due respect to younger folks, I guess it is time for an older fan
to weigh in with an All-Cetics team.

First Team

Bill Russell
Larry Bird
John Havlicek
Bob Cousey
Sam Jones

Second Team

Chief (by a nose over Cowens)
Kevin Mchale
Tommy Heinsohn
Jo Jo White
KC Jones

The coach is a man named Red.

Before you write off the clouded memories of an ancient, remember the 1963
Celtics went 8 players deep before they had to play a non-Hall of Fame
player.

The seven Hall of Famers were:  Bill Russell, Tommy Heinsohn, Sam Jones, KC
Jones, Bob Cousey, Frank Ramsey and John Havlicek
