Boston Hall of Famer Bob Cousy wants to attend the hanging of Banner 18

With a condition or two he has more than earned in our estimation.

When they say you are a Boston Celtic for life, few people can say it louder than 95-year-old Celtics Hall of Famer Bob Cousy. The original Houdini of the Hardwood made that even clearer when he set the conditions for attending the Celtics’ celebration for finally winning Banner 18 this fall on opening night.

“It’s something I would love to participate in, but I would have one condition,” said Cooz via Boston Dot Com’s Khari Thompson. “That I share it with my dear friend and the only remaining player left from the 50s and 60s, Satch Sanders, who doesn’t get enough attention. I would love to have him by my side.”

That is certainly not out of the question, though there is a good chance both guests he requested present will be there anyway. “And the other friend I would ask to join me is Governor Maura Healey who has become a good friend, and of course who has a basketball background,’ He added.

“She always references the Celtics and how they’re doing, so we’d talk ball and then solve the problems with the state.” Still, an important issue remained on Cousy’s mind.

“This puts us back ahead of the (Los Angeles) Lakers,” he noted. “o have been a part of that is as good a legacy as I could hope for.”

Bob Ryan reveals his favorite Boston Celtics backcourt of all time

Ryan has seen a lot of Celtics basketball in his days working the sidelines up to the present.

Boston Celtics beat writer emeritus Bob Ryan has seen a lot of Celtics basketball in his days working the sidelines up to the present, and his recent admission of his favorite Boston backcourt of all time might raise a few eyebrows. But the man knows Celtics basketball like very few others do, and when he makes such a pronouncement, we ought to listen.

And he did exactly that on a recent episode with the eponymous cohosts of the CLNS Media “Bob Ryan, Jeff Goodman, and Gary Tanguay!” podcast, sharing who most impressed him in the storied history of this ball club’s guard rotations. Hint — it wasn’t Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman.

Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what he had to say.
