go celtics!

I have a huge paper due in the morning that I have hardly started but I really want to update the blog with something so here you go. This will probably be the only time I write about sports on this blog (or any future blog I have)...enjoy it.

After reading a book about Desmond Tutu, Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers decided to incorporate the concept of Ubuntu into his coaching. The term then made it into their cheer since the 2007 season! Go C's!

with Doc over winter break last year
Here is a video and at the end of it you can hear part of the cheer:

I will update more later on this week after the school work is done. Until then, I hope you are all doing well and have a wonderful start to the week!

Lots of Boston love (YANKEES SUCK!),
