Back in the day when current Boston Celtics broadcaster Brian Scalabrine was a member of the team he now covers’ roster, White Mamba (as Scal was known in those days) soaked up plenty of crazy stories with the team he would win a title as a member of in 2008.
The USC alum bore witness to the colorful personalities of his Banner 17 teammates as they worked towards the common goal of all Boston teams, hanging more banners to burnish the already storied legacy of the Celtics in the NBA. Fast forward to today and Scal has become quite the storyteller of that era of Boston basketball lore.
In a recent interview with the “Dan LeBatard” show, Scalabrine sat down and told some of his best stories from that moment in time, most notably the arm wrestling tale that took place on the team plane.
Take a look at the clip embedded above for a snapshot of Boston Celtics history.
