It’s been 30 years since Danny Ainge scored a career-high in points for the Boston Celtics against the Philadelphia 76ers. But if Ainge had it his way, it could have been more than a one-time occurrence.
The C’s president of basketball operations took to Twitter on Saturday night before the Green’s matchup against the Chicago Bulls to remember the historic moment, but not without throwing some hilarious shade at his former teammates. After NBC Sports Boston tweeted out a tribute video from the night of Dec. 9, 1988, Ainge added his two cents from the game.

Hilarious.
Ainge won two NBA championships with the C’s in 1984 and 1986 and helped Boston capture its 17th title in 2008 as an executive.
