In episode five of "The '86 Celtics Interviews" podcast, we bring you the extended version of our interview with Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge that we conducted for CSN's documentary on the '86 Celtics.
Ainge played a key role as part of the starting five for the ‘86 Celtics. Ainge complimented his Hall of Fame teammates on that team by being a great outside shooter, plus his tenacious attitude on the floor fit well within what was a unique set of personalities.
Danny talks about his daily competition at practice against Larry Bird, not going to a Grateful Dead concert with Bill Walton, and how he brought a champiosnhip back to Boston 20 plus years later by building his own "Big Three" with Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen.
