No more Lucky for the Celtics!

That’s right, Lucky, the until-now mascot for the Boston Celtics was fired from his position, announced the team’s front office in an statement citing the departure of Damon Blust.

The Celtics’ management team said that they truly appreciate the efforts of Blust for bringing smiles and entertain the Celtics crowd as well as his work for the Boston community during the term he served as a member of the team.

Through his representatives, Damon Blust said that the Celtics relieved him from his duties as team mascot so he could pursue other things. Blust is looking to invest in a school for kids and specialized in fitness and health.

Probably is a wise decision for both ‘Lucky’ and the Celtics, because Damon Blust is thirty three years-old right now, and because the time of an athlete is a short one, he as the rest, is looking to build up a different career which can be practiced during an older age.

Even Blust’s dad was impressed with his son’s sudden decision about leaving the current champions of the NBA, and people in general couldn’t believe either such fast departure from the team.

But there is something for sure, Damon Blust is well appreciated at Boston and well received across the whole nation too, he even was in Conan O’Brien not so long ago and the stories around his talent are numerous.

Blust is a Cincinnati native, but a long-time Celtics fan since the days of Bob Cousy.

Well, the Celtics are losing a great entertainer in Damon Blust, but the search for the new ‘lucky’ is on the march, and the team from Boston is surely waiting to find a replacement for Blust before the Celtics hang their 18th banner on their court’s ceiling this season… or at least that’s what Celtics fans hope for.
