What I remember about the incident was, the Celtics had just scored, Ainge was 
back on defense at about half court.  As Tree Rollins crossed half court he 
forearmed Ainge to the floor.  Of course Ainge retaliated as anyone would do 
and tackled Rollins.  The replay of the fight clearly showed Rollins grasp 
Ainge's hand and pull it to his mouth, and he bit it.  What must have 
"selectively altered" peoples memory could have been the fact that later that 
year a sporting publication listed their all-dirty team and Ainge was selected 
as guard because he had bitten someone.  That was unfortunate because it was 
untrue.
