Tommy Heinsohn 的最爱，Tommy Points 的常胜军 也是 (我觉得) C's 板凳上发电机， Walter McCarty 终於一如传言被交易到有冠军机会， 他自己也认为比较有 playing time 的 Pheonix Suns。 在这个交易中，Celtics 换回来一些现金和第二轮选秀权， 换句话说就是把这个能替补二到五号， 不管板凳坐多久一上场就能投进心脏超大颗三分球 C's 队上 Kentucky 大学最後一个成员 (Antoine Walker, Delk, Mercer...)， 差不多是当做礼物直接送给太阳队。 这几年来除了 Antoine 之外，就属 Waltah 的离开最让我感伤， Tommy Heinsohn 比喻他是 C's 队上的 Energizer Bunny， I just can't agree with him more! 以下是一篇 ESPN 的专访， 讨论为什麽 Waltah 会这麽受到本地球员喜爱， 我想以这段 Tommy 的访问做为 Walter C's 生涯的一个句点， 祝福他在 Suns (或歌唱界) 有更好的发展。 "Why I got involved with Walter, to begin with he was such a breath of fresh air," Tommy Heinsohn recalls. "He just let it all hang out when he joined the Celtics. He brought a freshness and vitality to looking at the team. (Bob) Cousy, who is a purist, didn't take to Walter right away, (because) he's 6-(foot-)10 and a skinny guy, the whole bit. But Walter, up in Toronto, made a three to win the game, and we were doing the broadcast. Cousy says, 'I think I'm getting to love Walter.' I said: 'It's too late to join the Walter McCarty Fan Club right now. If you want to join, it's 25 dollars. Everyone else can get in for free, but you have to pay 25 dollars.' Well, all of a sudden, everyone starts e-mailing the station (and) asking how they can join the Walter McCarty Fan Club. So I get on the air a couple games down the road and say: 'Cousy is the only one who has to pay. Everybody else, all you've got to do, after every game, is throw open your window and yell, 'I Love Walter!' ' A couple weeks go by and they start getting e-mails from mothers in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire (that say), 'Will you please stop telling my kids to throw open the window and shout 'I Love Walter?' ' Kids were actually doing it. I go out and speak now the first thing I say is, 'I Love Walter!' Things have not always gone well for Walter here, but what I saw in Walter is this unbridled enthusiasm and energy. I compared him to the Energizer Bunny. It's not that he attained any greatness as a player per se, but he had the stuff of all the great Celtics. The attitude!" --
