The Celtics were on the main page of espn.com today. J. A. Adande (of Around the Horn fame) wrote an interesting piece about how the current celtics roster is changing the team's perception in the eyes of African Americans. Apparently, unbeknownst to yours truly, the Celtics of the '80s were considered a "white team." I guess that makes sense, and the city's attitude through much of the latter half of the 20th century left something to be desired. However, Adande delves into the team's history, comparing the Celtics of the 1950s and 1960s to the Brooklyn Dodgers. All in all, it's a great article.
