Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here…
highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as
satisfying as a good morning dump.
However, Ray’s teaching days in Boston came to an end; he found out last month the Celtics weren’t bringing him back…
The Celtics’ decision was difficult for Ray to digest, but he refused to dwell on it.
“It’s just like any job,’’ he said. “You come to an end. You’re never
going to stay someplace and coach forever, you know. So at some point or
another there was going to come a point in time when I was no longer
going to be a Celtic. No matter how it happened. When I went into
basketball, I went into basketball to be a coach and a teacher.’’
It was management's decision to part ways with Clifford Ray. Was this a financial move? Doubtful. Was he no longer making an impact with Kendrick Perkins and Glen Davis? Possible.
Before you shed a tear for ole Clifford, read this:
He’s had breakfast with Alfred
Hitchcock in Hawaii. He’s walked with Marlon Brando on Brando’s island.
Jack Nicholson has sent him text messages. Whenever he’s in Oakland, Al
Davis insists they have dinner together. He’s sailed from Fiji to Tahiti
on an 85-foot catamaran. He saved a dolphin.One
time, he got a call in the middle of the night from a friend in the
music business. He had a song he swore would be a hit and he wanted Ray
to hear it before he recorded it.The friend was Marvin Gaye. The song was “Sexual Healing.’’
Impressive. For the record, I think those 'Most Interesting Man in the World 'commercials by Dos Equis are the best ads on TV, by far.
