... in 1964, former Kentucky great Frank Ramsey helped lead the Boston Celtics to their sixth straight NBA Championship and Ramsey's seventh overall. One of the leaders of this Celtics era, Ramsey finished with 18 points in the 106-99 win over the San Francisco Warriors. The first title of this run was in 1957 against Cliff Hagan and the St. Louis Hawks. In the Boston area, Ramsey was known as "Sixth Man", and this was before these words were ever invented. He retired after the 1964 Championship and was later inducted into the basketball Hall of Fame in 1982. The last time this man had to buy a beer in New England was 1958, possibly the most impressive part.
