From now until February 11, Red’s Army will be posting stories about the players behind the Celtics’ 22 retired numbers and that one retired nickname. Stories will be posted in the order that the numbers were retired.
If you’re a guy who likes to judge players based on box scores, you’d best skip this article entirely. All it’s going to do is irritate you and leave you citing Satch’s meager PPG totals and speculating that the Celtics have retired too many numbers. Not even ten points per game!
Basketball is, quite easily, the highest scoring professional sport.
