a prodigal son returns to the emerald city. antoine walker is back. my beloved celtics aren't exactly championship caliber but they sure are interesting. i think my goal this weekend is to get the dynasty series boston celtics dvd set.

my love for the celtics knows no bounds. why? see, if you were in taiwan during the 80s, the only nba you got on tv was the celtics versus the lakers. my father was a celtics man, so i became a celtics man. something about larry legend and his team appealed more to my dad than the flashy lakers. once you get committed to a team, you should never give up that loyalty, regardless of how much success, or lack thereof, your team achieves. when you develop a loyalty to a team, it defines you. i used to like all the boston teams (even in sports i didn't follow) just because of the celtics. boston the city has always been, for me, a magical place, just because of the celtics. i like unity.

my only regret about following the celtics is that i don't like the color green. at least as a wearable color. which means i can't really wear lots of celtics related paraphernalia. it's a daily struggle for me, personal fashion versus loyalty to kin kith and clan.

and yes, it is that deep.
