During an appearance on NBA on TNT on Tuesday night, Pritchard opened up about his achievement while talking with Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley. “I mean, it's just a lot of people in the Celtics organization,” Pritchard said when asked what it's like to be the latest Boston player to win the award that is also named after one of the greatest players of the franchise. “Obviously, John Havlicek being named…Kevin McHale. Obviously, a couple of other guys, Malcolm Brogdon. When I was here with him, I watched him win it. Yeah, Bill Walton. So, yeah, this is definitely an honor.”

Dwyane Wade doesn't feel trio with LeBron James and Chris Bosh are responsible for superteam trend
Do you feel responsible for the "superteam" trend after you got LeBron James and Chris Bosh to join you in Miami? Dwyane Wade: Not responsible for a superteam. Maybe responsible for players getting together and making a decision. I don’t know what was done that preceded us. We definitely watched Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman. We definitely watched Magic Johnson play with many great Hall of Fame players. We watched Larry Bird, Robert Parish, Kevin McHale, and so forth. We’ve seen it before.

John Lucas III: The next morning, I woke up, and they made a trade. I was walking into the facility, getting ready for the first day of official practice. That’s when I found out they traded for Ronald Dupree from the Pistons. Kevin McHale pulled me into his office and told me they had to cut me. KG was furious. He threw a fit. That moment marked the beginning of KG’s fallout with Minnesota. KG told me, "You ain’t going nowhere, Lord. You ain’t going nowhere like that." He kept me in Minnesota for two weeks while they tried to figure things out. My dad, though, called me and said, "Man, bring your ass home."
Jayson Tatum on winning first title: It was a lot of weight, I had been close so many times
With 11,852 points scored through seven seasons, it’s expected that the five-time NBA All-Star will ultimately go down as one of the greatest Celtics ever. But without a title, Jayson Tatum knew he truly couldn’t be in the conversation amongst Celtics greats. While the 26-year-old isn’t satisfied with one ring and has a lot of hoop left, he felt like getting a title in Beantown finally gave him the ability to stand alongside Pierce, Garnett, Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and other Celtics legends. “It was lot of weight. I’ve been close so many times,” Tatum said. “It felt like, ‘Damn, maybe this is not meant to be.’ Those thoughts creep into your mind. There was doubt in the toughest moments. But then on the flip side, I knew we were going to knock it down one day. It meant everything when we did it.”
Bobby Manning: Bickerstaff pregame: "When I was working with Kevin McHale and we were in Houston, we were down 3-1 to the Clippers and ended up coming back and winning. What Kevin did an amazing of was breaking it down that it was just one game ... not thinking about the weight of the moment."

Based on the information that is available, however, the former seems more likely. Sneider noted that franchise legends such as Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish are expected to be featured in the series, while Celtics majority owner Wyc Grousbeck revealed last month that the current team is being followed as a part of the project.
Anthony Davis moved up from No. 95 to No. 94 in the scoring all-time list after passing Kevin McHale
Nebraska basketball played hard defense and crashed the glass early in Sunday night’s win over Rutgers. The early energy certainly helped boost the Huskers. It also captured the attention of a special guest in the Pinnacle Bank Arena crowd — NBA Hall of Famer Kevin McHale. McHale was in Lincoln to take in the Husker game because of his relationship with Nebraska head coach Fred Hoiberg. McHale coached Hoiberg in Minnesota and worked alongside Hoiberg when he transitioned to a front office job.
