A rush of Celtics/jail stories today…there’s no way to describe this any better than the actual report does:
A man got a prison term longer than prosecutors and defense attorneys had agreed to because of Larry Bird.The lawyers reached a plea agreement Tuesday for a 30-year term for a man accused of shooting with an intent to kill and robbery. But Eric James Torpy wanted his prison term to match Bird’s jersey number 33.
“He said if he was going to go down, he was going to go down in Larry Bird’s jersey,” Oklahoma County District Judge Ray Elliott said Wednesday. “We accommodated his request and he was just as happy as he could be.
“I’ve never seen anything like this in 26 years in the courthouse. But, I know the DA is happy about it.”
Personally, we would’ve asked for the Gilbert Arenas sentence, but nobody has ever accused criminals or Boston fans of being particularly rational.

I myself would’ve asked for the Benoit Benjamin ‘00′ treatment.
Uh…what about the chief, Robert Parrish? This is, afterall, a post about the Celtics.
