Longtime Celtics broadcaster Johnny Most died at 69 in January 1993 after numerous health issues attributed to his lifel...ong smoking habit. The Celtics honored him with a sizeable memorial band, smaller than the one they would use for Reggie Lewis in the succeeding season. Lewis would be wearing this memorial band the last time he stepped on an NBA court, when he collapsed against the Hornets in the playoffs, the first sign of the heart problem that would kill him in the summer.
