Celtics fans can honor champs at breakfast

News flash from the Breakfast of Champions.

Shortly after the Celtics made oatmeal and mush out of the Los Angeles Lakers last night in the final game of the National Basketball Association championship series, cereal maker General Mills Inc. made the following announcement: Celtics star Kevin Garnett will be lionized on a Wheaties box.

General Mills of Minnesota said in a statement: "Wheaties will issue a special-edition commemorative package honoring the 2008 NBA Champion Boston Celtics following their victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in The Finals. The 15.6-ounce Celtics Wheaties box will be available nationally beginning in the next three weeks. The package features Boston's 11-time NBA All-Star, Kevin Garnett. This package marks the third Wheaties box appearance for Garnett and the fourth Wheaties box appearance for the Celtics organization."
