TD Garden Celtics Fan All-Star Team

Very good subject. There certainly are a coterie of total nuts. There is the guy with the big handlebar mustache who loves to bring the camera on himslef.

Then, the kid with the glasses (a little like Napoleon Dynamite) who looked like he was at the game with his mother who danced up and down the aisle to some rock song to which he was playing out the words, embracing other fans etc. We were directly across the stands from him the original night and have seen it re-broadcast a couple times. That kid was a spontaneous virtuoso. Needs to lose his mother though.

Personally, I can’t stand the wannabe Jack Black. His schtick was kinda funny the first time, but it got old real fast.

I Always liked Soulja Boy Jr. and Suit Coat Santa always gets the crowd going, which is something you need from your fake team shooting guard.

chicken dance man wants to be Mick Jagger from the mid-80’s . “Start Me Up” days.

My wife always looks for Queen Joanne , front row loge section 17. I was watching a DVD of Best Celtics Games Ever, and swore I saw Joanne there cheering the Celtics on against the Lakers. She always seems to have the attention of the coaching staff and the local media folks.

…because he entertains non-stop the whole game. Moreso than Lucky. Soulja Boy, Balcony Gino, and Santa have their place, but do their schtick for 15 seconds a game.

Also, Chicken Dance Guy dressed up as the Easter Bunny at the Easter Cavs game, which was absolutely hilarious.

i think this is a great group!! ive had the chance to meet Aztec while he was walking out of the game one nite, real cool guy!

SB Jr. can surely put on a show!

Haha I sat right next to the Jack black guy when he first got popular at game 7 atlanta.

Behind my seats is the middle age man in face paint and wig (baseline celts side)… there might be a head band in there also. Half of his face is green and the other half is white- Can’t be missed and usually always on the jumbotron. He’s always taunting players and refs. I nominate him to be the 8th man of the fan squad. You need a wily veteran…

SB Jr rules. no one’s even close. the kid is a riot.

you are the man! What a great read…

So I saw SB Jr. at the Raptors game back in January and he was a riot. During one of his dances tho some fat lady was walking down the stairs and literally pushed him out of the way while he was dancing. She had no idea she was on the Jumbotron and everyone started booing at her. For the rest of the game the camera guys would focus on her and everyone started booing. Hilarious.

I got legitimately star struck when I stood right next to Suit Coat Santa on the train. I snuck a photo with my phone when he wasn’t watching, he even got off on my stop on the red line.

There was this old lady they kept on showing, and the fans went absolutely nuts whenever she was on the jumbotron, especially late in the game. I don’t know if she’s a regular, but if she is, she should be up for consideration on the team.

The problem with Balcony Gino is that Gino is meant for blowouts, not 2nd quarter reveals. Keep your Gino to yourself until the proper moment arrives.

The best part about Jack Black is that he gets on camera all the time, but he might be the only one on the list thrown out for doing unsafe things when drunk. Pretty entertaining. I have to give him props for maintaining his energy throughout a game. I remember him doing similar pre-KG, though security seemed confused what to do with him back then. Was anyone else at the playoff game where they had the Jack Black guy do a recorded sketch on the Jumbotron with real Jack Black clips mixed in? Classic.

The green suit has had some great wearers, though some are duds. When the green suit wearer has funny dance move, that costume is brilliant.

The best part of SB Jr is booing adults who try to get into the frame when the camera is on him. Especially the scary individuals who think that picking him up would make them cool. Uh, no. That just makes you creepy. Leave him alone.

Great theme, Jimmy.

 I was wondering when you were going to unveil this.

For some reason chicken dance man draws my attention even though the shtick is old now. I remember when he was first noticed. He wasn’t sure why he getting all the attention – but went with it.

Two other frequent (but infrequent) things they do that I like are ‘Separated at Birth’ and the corny Einstein dance (rarely seen now). Too funny.

Someone should do a TD Garden version of “Where’s Rob?”

Fun stuff, JT!

here are some of the all-stars i think we forgot. let me know if you know them or know of them.

Mrs Green – older woman who comes to all games in her usual lime green dress suit.

Mullet Man – man in upper balcony who pumps up the entire section every single game of the season. “welcome to the jungle!!” Known by his large grey mullet

Dancing Usher – Usher who is always seems to be dancing to the beat. seems like he is prerecorded but still funny

Luigi – man with the ridiculous mustache who seems to do the same goofy dance every game. somehow always gets on the screen

Fat Boy – large young boy who constantly beats his chest like he is king kong

any i am missing out on???

Good blog here! Very entertaining read. I have been a season ticket holder for six years, and here are a couple of notes to add to this:

-I sat in the same section as Santa Man for the championship season. Him and his wife are very nice people. Die-hard C’s fans, and his calling card is clearly the chest pound. He doesn’t dance in the aisles and wouldn’t want to be confused with someone who does though. His mojo is to jump out of his seat as soon as the camera is on him and to pound his right hand in between his left shoulder and upper chest as hard as he can. Great Celtics fan!

- SB Jr is the man! We’ve all been trying to figure out for the past three seasons who he belongs too… lol :)

-Jack Black is the only known Celtics fan to officially have an Garden promo video made of him which was launched during the ‘08 playoffs. Another truly great C’s fan.

-Aztec Gino is awesome! I actually sold my tix to him this year for the Cavs game on Easter, which we won. He is not a season ticket holder, but always finds a way to buy tix for the big games.

-The short and fat basketball hat kid irks me. This kid is not someone important, and he and his parents are running a scheme to get him into games. Before every game they have him stand outside the Garden with a sign that reads something to the effect of “poor fat kid needs a FREE ticket,” with some sob story attached to the sign. He actually almost got me earlier in the year. My girlfriend and I were walking into the Garden and we felt bad for him (i think that day his sign said something to the effect that he had never been to a game before) so I went to hunt down a scalper to buy the kid a ticket, but another fan told me what the kid’s deal was so I didnt do it. This kid isnt a super fan, he’s a fraud. His parents should be trying to hustle him into the local YMCA to work off his gut rather than scamming other fans out of their tix for their slob of a son.
