Much ado has rightfully been made about the looming Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame inductions of franchise icons Paul Pierce and Bill Russell as a coach. But that duo of Boston giants isn’t the full slate of Celtics-affiliated honorees scheduled to be immortalized in basketball’s equivalent of Mount Olympus this weekend.
On his way in as a broadcaster is longtime Celtics play-by-play announcer Mike Gorman. Partnered with Boston legend Tommy Heinsohn for most of his career in the sport, Gorman is a giant in his own right when it comes to calling Celtics games across the decades.
To that end, the folks at NBC Sports Boston have put together a mini-documentary in honor of his Hall of Fame broadcasting career.
Give it a watch ahead of his induction, with the five-time Emmy Award winner finally getting his just desserts at the national level on Sept. 11.
