Wiesbaden, Germany, September, 1963:
Boston Celtics forward and future Basketball Hall of Famer Tommy Heinsohn, foreground, poses with USAFE basketball clinic participants Bill Lee of Chicksands, England, Eddie Verswyvel of Belgium and George Brestle of Celle, Germany. Heinsohn, who was joined by NBA great Bob Davies and Air Force Academy coach Bob Spear on the instructional staff, was asked whether the Celtics' dynasty was in trouble due to the recent retirement of Bob Cousy. He said the Celts were far from finished — and they proved his point by winning five more titles in the next six seasons.
