SPECIAL EPISODE: Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the 1986 Celtics - Danny Ainge Interview

This year marks the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest teams in NBA history, the 1986 Boston Celtics. Back in 2016, NBC Sports Boston produced a documentary on that season called "The '86 Celtics". We gathered interviews with members of that team, media, and others in the making of the documentary. Every Monday for the next few months, we'll re-release these long-form interviews on the Celtics Talk podcast feed.

In episode three, Danny 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. To start off our interview, Danny talks about his interesting path to becoming a Boston Celtics.
