The Boston Celtics and our little KG
The 17th Championship run of the Boston Celtics came with it the early emergence of my 15-month-old son into the world of basketball. Watching most of the 26 playoff games the Celtics had to play to win it all, my brother, wife and I watched Chase begin to pay attention and even pick up the…
