We've Got Gino Fever!

Who is that swinger-lookin' 70s dude that the Celtics insist on flashing up on the Jumbotron during games? Why, that's Gino--the unofficial team mascot who is capturing the hearts of players and fans alike!

The clip in which Gino appears is from '70s era "American Bandstand." He resembles Adrian Zmed of "TJ Hooker" fame, only with a lot more facial hair, and he knows how to work his sexy snake hips. Once you see him move, you just try to resist shaking your bottom.

Of course, no one knows if his name is really "Gino" or if it is something as ordinary as "Harold," but he's wearing a Gino Vanelli T-shirt, and he looks fine in it. The Track Girls report that the Celtics organization is going to try to find the man who once danced on television wearing a Gino Vanelli T-shirt, and they'd like to do a mockumentary about tracking him down. We also hear that Leon Powe does a swell Gino impersonation.

Meanwhile, Barstool Sports is considering selling a Gino T-shirt and is appalled that Doc Rivers claims he doesn't know who Gino is. Gino is … well, he's just Gino!
