Look No Further Than North Station Sports For All Your Boston Celtics News

Posted on October 04, 2009 by Dean Hybl

For anyone looking to stay connected to the Boston Celtics and the NBA, North Station Sports is the site for you.

While there may be other places to get game summaries and scores, North Station Sports takes it to another level and goes beyond the scores to look at the full breadth of the Boston Celtics basketball.

Site founder Nick Gelso is a passionate Celtics fan and is always looking for the story within the story to share with readers. Whether it be what Doc Rivers or Kevin Garnett said in an interview, or analysis of how a new member of the team is going to contribute, Gelso is always looking for the special “nugget” that will give fans that unique insight we all desire.

While the site focuses on the Celtics, Gelso is always perusing the national news to find interesting videos and news to share from around the league.

A fan of both Celtics and NBA history, Nick has written some fantastic basketball history features about Robert Parish, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Michael Jordan and many others.

North Station Sports regularly has features on Larry Bird and other Celtic legends.

      Vintage Athlete of the Month: Bill Russell

      We honor Bill Russell as the Boston Sports Then and Now Athlete of the Month. In the dictionary next to the definition of champion, there should be a picture of Bill Russell.

      Before he even entered the NBA, Russell experienced his share of collegiate basketball glory while playing for San Francisco State.  Russell was the defensive core of a team that won 55 games in a row.

      Russell was a shot blocking machine during his college career. After batting away 13 shots against the NCAA basketball powerhouse UCLA, legendary coach John Wooden said of Russell, “He is the greatest defensive man I’ve ever seen.”

      And defense does indeed win championships in basketball, as SF State won back to back NCAA titles in 1955 and 1956.

      Due to his stellar collegiate career, Bill Russell was an easy choice for captain of the US Olympic Men’s Basketball team in 1956. His winning ways continued on the world’s biggest stage. The United States squad would go on to defeat the USSR, 89-55 to capture the gold medal.

      Before the age of 22, Bill Russell experienced championship glory three times.

      And he was far from done.

      The 6’9” center was a top prospect in the 1956 draft. The only question was which NBA franchise would choose this natural born winner.

    • BST&N Book Review: Wicked Good Year
      June 29, 2010 | 6:58 pm

      This is a wicked good read.

      I review Steve Buckley’s Wicked Good Year.

      A great read about the incredible Boston sports year of 2007.

      The Red Sox and the Celtics took home championships. The Patriots were 3 minutes from a perfect season and the Bruins were the Bruins.

      Sit back and enjoy my video review.

      This book is wicked good and wicked pissah too!
