Posey gets his ring

Former Celtics forward James Posey was just presented with his championship ring for being a part of last season’s NBA champion Boston Celtics. Celtics owners Wyc Grousbeck and Steve Pagliuca, as well as coach Doc Rivers and general manager Danny Ainge, presented Posey with his ring to a standing ovation from the Garden crowd.

“He was a special player and a special person,” Rivers said as he took the microphone and addressed the crowd. “He understood what the word Ubuntu meant. We can’t be all we can be until James Posey is all he can be.”

Didn’t hear a single boo when Posey was introduced.
