Grousbeck also showed the Celtics great a book of ring designs and informed him that he’ll receive an NBA championship ring along with the Celtics players before they open the next season against Miami at the Garden on Oct. 27. Grousbeck called the announcement of the ring an early birthday present for Cousy, who will turn 96 on Aug. 9.
“You’ve been instrumental in all the championships,” Grousbeck said.

So apparently we open next season against Miami then? Quite the nugget amongst everything else in the article. Apparently, the players read/heard Cousy’s prediction for the Finals that he told to Shaughnessy too.
A pretty cool article
That’s awesome. Happy to hear it.
What about Mike Gorman? Mike needs a ring, too.
It would be cool if someone in Tommy’s family were able to accept a ring on his behalf. Tommy was a member of the C’s org for every championship, only seems right he gets one for 18, even in death
