The Celtics pulled out all the stops for Gorman in a well-deserved tribute that resulted in numerous well-deserved standing ovations throughout the game. The team extended halftime, and the ownership brought Gorman out to honor him.
Gorman's best quality as a broadcaster was (and, for a couple more playoff games, is) his ability to recognize the weight of the moment and the noise of the crowd.
It felt appropriate, then, that in Gorman's last regular-season game - a game that prominently featured the Stay Ready group and the Celtics' G-League team for the second contest in a row - that the Celtics returned the favor, stepping aside and letting Gorman take center stage.
At halftime, Brian Scalabrine briefly interviewed Gorman in front of the Garden crowd. The two discussed Gorman's career and some of his favorite moments, before Scalabrine offered the 43-year veteran a chance for any closing thoughts.
