On Tuesday, former Boston Celtics broadcaster, head coach, and player Tommy Heinsohn had passed away at the age of 86.
Since his first season in the NBA in 1956, Heinsohn went on to be apart of all 18 Celtics championships in different capacities, winning eight as a player alongside Bill Russell and Bob Cousy and two as head coach.
Heinsohn earned spot’s in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame for both his playing and coaching careers.
After basketball, Heinsohn broadcasting career took off as he became a Celtics fan favorite for his brass attitude as a color commentator during games, especially towards officials and his giveaway of “Tommy Points” to players who impressed him during a game.
