I remember CBS used to have the NBA games on Sundays many moons ago. Quinn Buckner used to be on the broadcast. CBS did a feature on Johnny Most after he had both his legs amputated and was confined to a wheelchair (still calling the C's games). Johnny talked about how happy he was finally being pain free, etc... When the feauture was over, they came back to Quinn and his studio partner (can't recall who it was) and there was Quinn crying like a baby on National TV. Johnny was forever faithful to the Celtics and the players loved him.
Nice story,Kev.
