Highlights from the Celtics annual Tip-Off Gala

Last night the Celtics held their annual Tip-Off Gala, a fundraising event for the Shamrock Foundation that also serves as a bit of a fashion show for the players to kick off the new season.  Here are some of the highlights:

James Young looks nice sporting a @gucci suit at the #Celtics Shamrock Foundation Gala. Says his first big purchase was a Porsche Cayenne.

#Celtics coach Brad Stevens predicted he would be worst dressed person at banquet (Something tells me at least one player has him beat).

Via ESPN Boston's Chris Forsberg, Danny Ainge said:

I think there’s a lot of purposes of tonight, the most important purpose is raising money for the Shamrock Foundation, which does so many great things for so many charities. But I think it’s also good to have the team all together and in a different setting with some of our sponsors and fans and partners. I think it’s a good night all-around.
