The Night Bill Walton introduced the 1986 Celtics to the Grateful Dead [View all]
Who knew Larry would become a fan of the Grateful Dead? Or that he bullied Mickey Hart on a one-on-one play around? Fascinating link on the 1986 Celtics....it appears everyone on the team with the exception of Danny Ainge (LOL, he's a Mormon) went to see the Dead in Worcester, Ma back in Fall, 86. Arguably, Bill Walton is the #1 Deadhead...but the "family" thing apparently stuck. And they won the title....

On edit: I just realized that was 1/2 a lifetime ago _(so far).....LOL.
