SEAN GRANDE is entering his seventeenth season in the NBA and twelfth as the voice of the Boston Celtics, Sean Grande’s epic account of the two-month run to the 2008 World Championship, and the classic Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals cemented his status as one of the nation’s elite play-callers. Grande’s first stint in Boston began at Boston University where he spent seven seasons calling Terrier hockey, football and basketball on both television and radio. In 1996, he moved up Commonwealth Avenue to Boston College, as the voice of the Eagles football and hockey radio networks for three seasons until the NBA came calling. Sean is one of the most experienced play-by-play men in the business calling basketball, hockey, football, baseball, tennis, and soccer. He has made appearances on ESPN, CBS, and Comcast SportsNet

CEDRIC MAXWELL is in his nineteenth year behind the microphone as a Celtics analyst. Max has been a part of Celtics’ championships as a player, and a broadcaster from the

original Big Three to the new Big Three. He played with Bird, McHale and Parish, and has called the games of Pierce, Garnett and Allen. An integral part

of the Celtics’ return to glory in the 1980’s, Max’s twelve-year NBA career began as Boston’s first-round draft pick in 1977. An instant fan-favorite, he led

the team in scoring in 1978-79, and the NBA in field goal percentage in both 1979 and 1980. Max’s .609 mark from the floor in 1980 remains the team’s all-

time record. In 2003 his number 31 was retired by the Celtics and raised to the Garden rafters.
