BILL WALTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 23rd, 6:00PM-7:00PM
Basketball Hall of Famer Bill Walton, in his prime, was one of the NBA’s most dominant centers to ever play the game.

In his last National Championship game, a win over Florida State in 1973, Walton made an amazing 21 of 22 field goals, scoring 44 points.

TROY BROWN AND JOHN HANNAH, SATURDAY, APRIL 24th, 6:00PM-7:00PM
Perhaps no New England Patriot in recent memory strikes more fond memories in the hearts of fans than that of Troy Brown. He is New England’s all-time franchise leader in receptions and was a big part of capturing three Super Bowl victories in the past decade. Brown’s best year came in 2001 where he and Tom Brady connected for 101 receptions rendering Brown 1,199 yards and 5 touchdowns as well as his first trip to the Pro Bowl. That same year, Brown returned a punt for a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game that proved to be the game’s winning score. It was big moments like these that made Brown a legend throughout New England.
John Hannah is best known in Boston as the hard fighting offensive lineman who played his entire career for the New England Patriots from 1973-1985. In 1991, Hannah graced the cover of Sports Illustrated and was pegged as the “Best Offensive Lineman of All Time.” A Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee in 1991, Hannah played in 9 Pro Bowls and made the All-AFC team ten times in his career. He was also part of an elite crop of former players named to the NFL All-Decade Team for both the 70s and 80s. He is on the NFL 75th All-Time Anniversary Team, listed as the #1 guard on the team. Hannah’s excellence on the field has certainly carried over to off the field, as he is currently a managing partner for John Hannah & Associates; a leadership Development & Training System aimed at supplying the tools for improved organizational leadership and teambuilding.
