Boston Hall of Famer Bob Cousy wants to attend the hanging of Banner 18

When they say you are a Boston Celtic for life, few people can say it louder than 95-year-old Celtics Hall of Famer Bob Cousy. The original Houdini of the Hardwood made that even clearer when he set the conditions for attending the Celtics’ celebration for finally winning Banner 18 this fall on opening night.

“It’s something I would love to participate in, but I would have one condition,” said Cooz via Boston Dot Com’s Khari Thompson. “That I share it with my dear friend and the only remaining player left from the 50s and 60s, Satch Sanders, who doesn’t get enough attention. I would love to have him by my side.”

That is certainly not out of the question, though there is a good chance both guests he requested present will be there anyway. “And the other friend I would ask to join me is Governor Maura Healey who has become a good friend, and of course who has a basketball background,’ He added.

“She always references the Celtics and how they’re doing, so we’d talk ball and then solve the problems with the state.” Still, an important issue remained on Cousy’s mind.

“This puts us back ahead of the (Los Angeles) Lakers,” he noted. “o have been a part of that is as good a legacy as I could hope for.”
