The Walter McCarty Blog: Appreciating Boston

The Celtics franchise is one with winning traditions, and when you put on the uniform, there is always pressure to win. I got to Boston early in my career; our team was very young and I think we were mostly expected to be competitive in the league. The crowd was always quick to know, if we didn’t bring it you heard boos at home. For the most part, we had a lot of fun. As we matured...

Former Celtics dominate Kentucky alumni game

Ok "dominate" might be a slight exaggeration, but former Celtics Antoine Walker, Walter McCarty, and Tony Delk were in full effect during the Kentucky alumni game. Rajon Rondo (and Ron Mercer) didn't attend for some reason, but who needs Rondo when you have Delk dishing sweet passes to McCarty for dunks. Here are some more 'Toine highlights. And since someone...

Memory Lane Monday: Walter McCarty

Walter McCarty was a fan favorite for many years in Boston, often getting praise from Celtics announcer Tommy Heinsohn, whose catch phrase “I love Walta” rang true to many C’s fans. McCarty was a key contributor off the bench in Beantown from 1997-05. His three-point shooting (especially from the corner) was deadly and helped the Celtics reached the Eastern Conference Finals...
