And we love him.
Heinsohn has been associated with the Boston Celtics for six decades as a player, coach and broadcaster. He played for the Celtics from 1956 to 1965, and also coached the team from 1969 to 1978. He has been granted Hall of Fame Status for his success as both a player and a coach. He helped form the NBA players union. He is the only person to have the distinction of being involved in an official team capacity in each of the Celtics' 17 championships, as well as each of their 21 NBA Finals appearances.
Yeah. I know that he's a "homer". After six decades, he can say whatever he wants, whenever he wants, wherever he wants. Unprofessional? Certainly. He bleeds Celtic green and has earned the right to be biased, and vocal.
Oh? Did I mention that Celtic fans love him?
