In the News East Coast Clubs in the Media Boston Herald
Los Angeles-bred “Superbad” geek Christopher Mintz-Plasse , who you'd think would be a Lakers fan, has been McLovin' the Boston Celticssince he was Super small. “He was raised a Celtics fan because his father's from Worcester,” said club guru Michael Winter , who squired McLovin' around the North End after the Celtics' gut-wrenching 106-104 win over the Chicago Bulls the other night. The Tinseltown nerd is such a fan, he paid $3,000 for a pair of tickets behind the Celtics bench for himself and his pop. He got his face up on the JumboTron a few times and after the game, Winter introduced him to Stephon Marbury and Gabe Pruitt. But McLovin' really, really had his heart set on meeting Mr. Triple Double Rajon Rondo. And why wouldn't he? As luck would have it, the gangly guard and his fam were celebrating the Game 5 win with dinner at Nick Varano's Strega - one of Winter and McL's stops on Hanover Street ( Tresca was another one). “Chris was so nervous to ask Rondo to take a picture with him, but before he could ask, Rondo asked if he could take a picture with him,” laughed Winter. “The kid still doesn't get it.”
