Gotta give this crowd credit. A “Let’s go Celtics!” chant 15 minutes before the festivities even began.
Ayla Brown just belted out a great rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. The Otis Air National Guard Honor Guard presented the colors.
A pretty sweet tribute video, which began with a Red Auerbach interview, just played on the JumboTron.
The legends just walked out, with John Havlicek leading the way holding the Larry O’Brien trophy. Paul Pierce just gave him a James Posey hug. Aw.
Commissioner David Stern also just walked out. Got booed. Yikes.
