Hosts, Nick Gelso and Bobby Manning highlighted these Celtics greats…Bob Cousy:A 13-time NBA All-Star and 1957 NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP), Cousy was a core piece during the early half of the Celtics dynasty winning six NBA championships during his 13-year tenure with the Celtics. Nicknamed "The Houdini of the Hardwood", Cousy was the NBA assists leader for eight consecutive seasons, introducing a new blend of ball-handling and passing skills to the NBA.[2] He is regarded as the first great point guard of the NBA, and was the first to reach the 4,000, 5,000, and 6,000 career assists milestones.JoJo White:In the 1969 NBA draft, White was drafted 9th overall by the Boston Celtics, with whom he would play for ten seasons, winning the NBA Finals in 1974 and 1976 and being named Finals MVP the latter year. A seven-time NBA All-Star, White set a Celtics record with 488 consecutive games played. White's No. 10 jersey was retired by the Celtics in 1982. In 2015, he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.Dennis “DJ” Johnson:nicknamed "DJ", was an American professional basketball player for the National Basketball Association's (NBA) Seattle SuperSonics, Phoenix Suns, and Boston Celtics. He was a coach of the Los Angeles Clippers and an alumnus of Dominguez High School, Los Angeles Harbor College and Pepperdine University.Tiny Archibald:He spent 14 years playing in the National Basketball Association (NBA), most notably with the Cincinnati Royals/Kansas City–Omaha Kings and Boston Celtics. In 1991, he was enshrined into both the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the New York City Basketball Hall of Fame.Rajon Rondo:During his time in Boston, Rondo helped the Celtics advance to the NBA Finals in 2008 and 2010, winning a championship in 2008 as the team's starting point guard. Rondo is known to be a versatile facilitator in the NBA, leading the league in assists three times and in steals once; he also ranks fourth in Celtics history in assists and third in steals. Rondo has sometimes been described as a "stat-sheet stuffer",ranking 15th in NBA history for triple-doubles with 32 in the regular season, and fifth in NBA history for triple-doubles with 10 in the playoffs.(Player bio excerpts from Wikipedia)—Support our efforts to continue to bring you the most exclusive, rare historical content from the NBA archives!

  • The Larry Bird’s Impact on the 2024 All-Star Weekend, Current Players Awestruck by Celtics Legend.

    The NBA All Star game always have an over lining theme of nostalgia. This event is not only the greatest compilation or current NBA talent but it also reunites more NBA legends, in 1 city for a long weekend. For boomers like me, it’s absolutely basketball bliss. 

    CLNS sent 2 reporters and a camera crew to cover the star studded event. Needless to say that when it was apparent that Larry Bird would headline the entire week, I was quite jealous and angry with myself for passing on the opportunity to attend as credentialed media. 

    Once our reporters returned from Indianapolis, I wasted no time in getting Bobby Manning in the studio to discuss all things Larry Bird, All Star Friday & Saturday and the lousy “main event,” the actual game which most no one over 15 years old truly enjoyed. 

    We also discuss the impact being around Larry Legend had on the all star players, especially our Celtics, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
