Which Boston Celtics alum is the NBA’s biggest career earner from Orlando, Florida? This city is a tough one simply because neither Celtics alum in the top five are very well known by most Boston fans of today. The player in question is also a short-timer, playing for the Celtics for just 24 games several seasons before Banner 17 was hung. If you are still struggling to pin down who it might be, it is Chucky Atkins and his $34,191,455 in career earnings. He might lose that spot to Paul Reed when the big man signs his next deal, but at $11,632,730, he’s currently in second place. The drop-off f ..read more

There may have been no more devastating of a pass in the early modern era of the NBA than former Boston Celtics guard “Pistol” Pete Maravich’s renowned “wrist pass.” It could have a confused defender chasing after a ball that was simply not where his eyes were saying it was supposed to be. Executed in transition, it was all the more confounding, with defenders sometimes ending up lost and behind the play with a dazed look on their faces as Maravich’s target lays up an easy make. The NBA great was better known for his long-distance shooting (thus the nickname “Pistol“), but he was also among th ..read more

Which Boston Celtics alum is the NBA’s biggest career earner from Newark, New Jersey? On one hand, this player is among the NBA’s greatest of all time and a massive presence in league history, so he should be fairly easy to guess. But on the other, there are multiple Celtics alumni hailing from this city, so it could still trip you up. If you did not find yourself guessing the Big Aristotle (or any of his many nicknames), we’ll spill the beans for you. Shaquille O’Neal is the top earner all-time from Newark with a total of $292,198,327 in career earnings per HoopsHype. A ways behind him is Bam ..read more

When you look at Hall of Fame Boston Celtics champion Kevin Garnett, “fan of tennis” is not the thing that readily pops into one’s mind. But the Banner 17 icon has been known to get into some surprising stuff in the past (ask him around about his “Making The Band” show addiction). And as one of the more competitive sports out there, it probably ought to surprise less than it should that KG is a U.S. Open fan. So much so that on an episode of his Showtime Basketball “KG Certified” podcast, the Celtics legend had tennis superstar John McEnroe on for an interview. McEnroe was known for the intens ..read more

Boston Celtics icon Larry Bird is perhaps best known for countless ways he could hang points on an opposing team. He would find ways to score that sometimes baffled his defenders, coupled with eviscerating trash talk that broke their spirits at the same time. But the Hick From French Lick could also move the rock on an elite level and was not selfish when he saw an open man with an easier shot than he had at any given moment. All the way back to his days at Indiana State in college, Larry Legend was already using his crafty court vision to lift his teammates. Renowned NBA draft analyst Ben Pfe ..read more

It is a known fact Boston Celtics Hall of Fame big man Bill Russell did not get the love he deserved while winning championships for the Celtics as a player or a coach. While leading the team to 11 championships, he was not met with sold-out stadiums. Instead, Russell had to deal with the cruelty of racism on and off the court. Now, the NBA Finals MVP honor is named after the Hall of Famer. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and many players have shared the influence Russell had on them. Although, when ranking the NBA top 10 best players of all time, the player with the most champi ..read more

Fenway Sports Group (FSG) may not be in the race to buy the Boston Celtics (unless they actually are). Confused? We are a bit as well, as the comments of New England Sports Radio personality Tony Massarotti regarding a potential lack of interest by FSG in bidding for the Celtics make the rounds. Speaking on a recent episode of his 98.5 The Sports Hub “Felger and Mazz” show, Massarotti appeared to go back and forth between saying that FSG had reasons to avoid bidding for the Boston-based NBA franchise and that it was his opinion that they would not. “John Henry and his group don’t want the Celt ..read more
