There are few people who have seen more Boston Celtics games live than Mike Gorman, calling the vast majority of them for decades running as a broadcaster, much of it alongside beloved former Celtics player and coach-turned broadcaster Tommy Heinsohn.
With that intimate knowledge of the team and sport beloved to so many in the greater Boston area comes a perspective Gorman recently shared on an episode of WEEI’s “Toucher and Rich” show. The longtime Celtics fixture suggested that all the legacy talk and hand-wringing over whether the team’s young stars can break through to secure a title (before LeBron James or Michael Jordan even made the Finals, we might add) is perhaps overblown.
“I think we all forgot in them going from a dislikable bunch of guys who played spirited ball to a bunch of guys who played great and were the best team in the league for over a stretch of about 35 games,” he suggested.
