There might be an All-Star Game in the city the Boston Celtics play in, according to the Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn. The annual NBA exhibition tilt has not been played in Boston since 1964, with many league cities having hosted the event more than once in that interim.
It’s an exciting if generally unprofitable prospect for Celtics fans, as Washburn asks us “what kind of reception would Bill Russell and Bob Cousy receive if they were reunited at midcourt during halftime?” That Boston does not own its own arena is a potential hurdle, given the team would also need to get Delaware North, the company that owns both TD Garden and the Boston Bruins, to sign off on the event.
