<p>When I was real young I would watch the Celtics and he was a really good player, but those freckles were odd. I never seen freckles or red hair on a black man before.</p><p>That being said he was a very good player on great teams. He worked hard as a coach and help devolped young talent. Too young to die.</p>

<p>Shit, how did I miss this? DJ was great. </p><p>So young, too. I would've expected Robert Parrish maybe, but not DJ.</p><p>He was the Morgan Freeman of the NBA.</p>

<p>Damn, this reminded me just how entertaining the NBA used to be. The Celtics - Pistons rivalry was heated. You can tell that those guys weren't just playing for a paycheck, there was mutual hate involved. Lambeer getting his ass kicked was always fun. </p><p>Celtics - Lakers rivalry. Will we ever see two such amazing and talented teams face off again like they did in the 80's?</p><p>Damn, the NBA has really gone in the shitter. Unwatchable in my opinion and the Celtics are god-awful.</p><p>One of the most famous calls in NBA history, Johnny Most:</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zviu1C7TJzY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zviu1C7TJzY</a></p><p>RIP DJ!</p>
