In third grade, just before Christmas, Kelly and Ralph bought DVDs of the 1985-86 Celtics. Flagg would lie on the living room floor in front of the TV and watch the games on a loop, one full game after another. They later saw him looking up YouTube highlights, and they bought more DVDs -- on Larry Bird, on Bird versus Magic Johnson. "Did we want that to influence the way my kids learned the game and saw the game?" Kelly asked. "Absolutely." Kelly and Ralph would point out how Bird was the star and could score whenever he wanted, but look how he dove for loose balls, set concrete screens, found open teammates.
Flagg would nod along, playing the DVDs one after another, hour after hour.
