In his 14 seasons with the Bruins, Chara used his platform to inspire and uplift youth and families in the Greater Boston area.
After retiring from the NHL, Chara traded his skates for sneakers and began running various marathons across the world, raising funds in support of the Team Hoyt Foundation during the Boston Marathon.
Celtics team reporter Taylor Snow joked the Mavericks wanted to 'sign Chara at halftime to guard (Kristaps) Porzingis'. Ironically, Chara was sporting a Porzingis jersey.
The Celtics will honor one athlete with the team's 'Heroes Among Us' award throughout the NBA Finals.
