I think he may have been having a little fun. With that said, give me #33 on the Celtics over #23 any day!

I'm about to highjack another thread, Dan, but I should have remembered that you are our Boston boy and would always take the Celtics. I'm showing my age, but I was a huge Boston Celtics fan as a teenager in the 1950s. Those were the days of Bob Cousey, Bill Russell, Frank Ramsey, and other greats.

I must admit to switching my allegiance to the St. Louis Hawks, however, because of Mr. Hook Shot, Cliff Hagan of the University of Kentucky. He was drafted by the Celtics along with his teammate Lou Tsioropoulos, but they both chose to go into the military before going pro. Both were stationed with my father's unit at Andrews Air Force Base, and our family spent a many a night in the bleachers at the base gym watching them blow away other teams. We got to be good friends with Cliff and his wife.

When Cliff went back to the pros, he went to the St. Louis Hawks -- and so did my allegiance. If I remember right, Tsioropoulos was signed by the Hawks also. Those were the days of Bob Pettit too. Some great players and good memories.

I agree 100% Laurie. Those were the days where you could truly watch great "Team Basketball". Todays game is terrible with the one or two overpaid "marquis players".
