One of my favorite players All-Time..........

He is said to be resting comfortably in a hospital, and is expected to make a full recovery. However, he may miss the C's opening game against the Bulls on Saturday. Things aren't looking great for the Celtics right now, as this news comes on the same day Kevin Garnett (knee) was essentially ruled out for the playoffs by Doc Rivers. Coincidence? Maybe.

Would a couple of alcholic drinks a day prevented this?

Ainge has never consumed alcohol.

Well, it does keep the blood thin. Easier for the heart to pump through your body.

So "they" say it can help....

My mom drank one beer every night of her life as long as I can remember. Never drank more than a beer a day, and never consumed any other type of alcohol. But that one beer a night was as if she was taking a daily vitamin. Lived to be 84, and never had a single health issue til a year prior to her death.

Now, I'm not suggesting that one beer a night habit had anything to do with her longevity, but it didn't hurt.

Back to the subject..... I always seemed to be rooting against the Celtics back in Ainge's days, and he frustrated the hell out of me. Just always seemed to make the plays when he needed to most. He was just always in the midst of the action....Had he not been wearing a Celtics uniform, he probably would have ranked as one of my all-time favorites@)

Ainge was one fireball of a player. Kinda like a Pete Rose of the NBA if you will. Always never afraid to take a charge from a much larger player and always hustling after every lose ball. He probably gave 115% every time he set foot on the court. Hoping Mr. Ainge will make a full and speedy recovery.

Ainge, NBA finals with 3 different teams if I'm not mistaken.

I saw him 7 or 8 times(with Kevin McHale) at intermission during the 2007 Big 12 Basketball Tournament. Every time, he was feeding his face.

FZ, thanks for posting that clip. I had read much about that play but had never actually seen it before.

If beer makes one healthy, I'll live til I'm 200 years old.

Get well soon Danny.

:think2:

If you think that was awesome, you should see the Doug Flutie Hail Mary pass he threw in college or the HR Carlton Fisk hit to win game 6 of the 1975 World Series.

The way they were playing, who can blame him.

Or did he have this heart attack before they started playing like absolute shit, which might explain why they started playing like absolute shit
