Summary
On this day in Celtics history, we honor Marvin Barnes — a Providence native and 1974 NBA draft pick who chose the ABA first, eventually joining Boston in 1978 and averaging over 8 points and 4.5 rebounds in 38 games. Also born today: John Thomas, a Minnesota alum traded to Boston in ’97, who played 33 games before heading to Toronto. Both brief but memorable chapters in Celtics lore — one from the ABA merger era, the other from the modern trade era — remind us that every jersey has a story.
