Listening to Johnny Most try to describe what Ahchibald was doing with the ball is one of my favorite basketball memories…

I started becoming a hoops nerd when Tiny came to the Celtics. I loved his game and always thought the Celts could have gone all the way in '82 if not for him separating his shoulder in the EC Finals against the Sixers. Watching him and a young Bird together was a joy.

That sequence where the Celts were down 3-1 in the series and down 6 with like 1:30 left in Game 5 of the 1981 ECF with someone on the Sixers going in for a seemingly wide open layup....and Maxwell blocked the shot and Archibald immediately turned it into a three-point play on the other end.

Etched in my mind forever.
