Celtics Star Plays Critical Role in Bill Nye's Hollywood Walk of Fame Honor

Patrick Warren

At Bill Nye's Hollywood Walk of Fame induction, a member of the Boston Celtics made a surprise appearance as a guest speaker for the former Boeing engineer and television icon's special day.

Celtics star Jaylen Brown spoke on the inspiration Nye served for millions of young students across the world, including himself.

“What an honor it is to speak on the life and legacy of Bill Nye the Science Guy," Brown said with a smile. "My love for science runs deep and I have Bill to thank for that. But not just for myself, but for a generation of students who grew up in the public school system, possibly thinking that school was not for them. Bill was the bright spot in all of our days. When they rolled the TV out on the trolley, we knew what time it was. But Bill did not just teach science, he taught a generation of students of all walks of life to explore, to discover, to create and also to ask questions."

6. I've Known Bill For Around 30 Years

Haven't seen him for quite a while now (10 years?).
