Who Rocked It Best? Number 40

On this week's Who Rocked It Best - we look at a number which hasn't received a lot of usage in Celtics history: the number 40. It's odd, considering how the C's have so few available numbers left for players to choose from, but 40 was used no more than nine times in the last 50 years. And of the nine users, only three had the number for longer than a season: Terry Duerod, Dino Radja, and Carlos Clark.

Duerod, who passed away last November, was a big name in Detroit hoops, having starred collegiately at Detroit Mercy, before launching his NBA career with the Pistons.
