Boston Celtics J. R. Giddens: The Forgotten

Posted: 17th September 2009 by Frances White in NBA
At 6'5" J.R.

All throughout their storied history the Boston Celtics have had players who weren't household names, but contributed when it counted. I am sure if Johnny Most was alive today he could tell the story in his raspy voice. a story of supporting players whose names we forget. So it is in the spirit of togetherness that Red forged with the players who wore the Celtic jersey at a time ...
