"PATH TO BANNER 18" CONTEST - Starts today! Join in.

Here's a chance to win a copy of Mark C. Bodanza's excellent bio of 10-Time Champion, Sam Jones - signed by Sam & Mark. It starts today with the Boston Celtics contest against the Golden State Warriors.

How does it work? It's quite simple.

1.) Look for any of our future CelticsSentinel articles containing the words "BANNER 18" in the title, including this article.

2.) It's all about Jayson Tatum's points, rebounds & assists in the next Celtics game - Warriors in this case.

3.) Give us your estimate of the sum of Jayson's points, rebounds & assists in that one, specific game.

4.) Example: Tatum with 30 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists. The total amounts to 48 in this case.

5.) Put that estimate (48) in the comment section of the article. We just need the total number, not necessarily the specific number of each category (points, rebounds, assists).

6.) Closest estimate, above or below, gets one point.

7.) In case of a tie, both get one point.

8.) The one with the most points at the end of the regular season wins the book.

9.) If Tatum does not play, obviously ignore that contest. (don't estimate "ZERO").

10.) Use your name or handle so we know who you are when putting your estimate into the comment section.

11.) Entires must be submitted by one hour prior to the start of the game.

12.) If the response to this contest merits it, we may add additional prizes.

A sorrowful farewell to Kitty's Restaurant (North Reading, MA) as a family tradition

Time to say "Goodbye" to Kitty's Restaurant - my family's destination and tradition for six generations and more than 80 years. My memories of Kitty's go back to the early-1950's . I would accompany my dad and grandfather on fishing trips to the Ipswich River in North Reading, Massachusetts - followed by a visit to the restaurant on Main Street. In later years, my wife, Linda, and I would eat there with our two kids, Marc and Lisa - and years later - with our two grand daughters - and still later - with our great grandson, Carson. Author and family at Kitty's approx. 10 years ago Kitty's never disappointed. The drinks were big and well-made . The food was terrific - as were the portions. The service was exceptional and we became well-acquainted with the waiters and waitresses. It all worked so very well for many decades. My grand daughter, Courtney , was particularly fond of the restaurant. She was born with cystic fibrosis , and during her fr...

Wemby versus Kareem as rookies

We already know that the Spurs Victor Wembanyama is going to be an NBA phenomenon, but will he surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by the end of his career. It is highly likely. I did a "per-36-minutes" comparison between the two stars, mainly because Kareem logged 43.1 MPG in his rookie campaign - while Wemby has been held to only 29.4 MPG. Kareem: 24.1 PPG - 12.1 RPG - 3.4 APG - .518 FG - .653 FT Wemby: 25.9 PPG - 12.9 RPG - 4.5 APG - .463 FG - .796 FT No blocks, steals or 3-pointers were looked at since they were not tracked in Jabbar's first year in the NBA. It should also be noted that Kareem was 22 years old at the time, while Victor started at age 20. Two factors favoring Wembanyama ultimately surpassing Jabbar on any "Best-of-All-Time" charts are his point guard skills , shared by so many European players. and the fact he is being mentored by Gregg Popovich. His potential seems astounding. But the question remains. Can he garner six Titles and six MVP ...
