As golf's biggest stars prepare for the US Open at Brookline this week, basketball's biggest showcase could reach its conclusion just six miles away at TD Garden.
The two events form a bumper sporting Thursday for the city of Boston, as the US Open tees off and Game 6 of the NBA Finals takes place with the Boston Celtics hosting the Golden State Warriors.
Many of basketball's biggest stars enjoy a round of golf and Keegan Bradley, a fervent Celtics fan, will be just one of the major title hopefuls keeping an eye on events on the hardwood. "I'm definitely biased in this regard, but I consider Boston to be the best sports city in the world – or in the country, at least," Bradley said in his pre-tournament press conference on Wednesday. "They [the fans] are so knowledgeable about sports. "Especially the basketball and football and baseball and hockey, but they're going to be loud, and they've got Game 6.
Jeez, what a time to be in Boston. I wish I wasn't playing in the tournament so I could have fun with all these sporting events!
