On this day in 2007, former Boston Celtics reserve guard Eddie House signed a multi-year deal with the team.
The Berkeley, California native had previously played for the Miami Heat (he was drafted by them out of Arizona State with the 37th pick of the 2000 NBA Draft), Los Angeles Clippers, Charlotte Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks, the Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns and (then) New Jersey Nets before joining Boston in true journeyman fashion.
House would become a key part of the Celtics 2008 title team’s bench offense, providing microwave scoring off the bench that would prove critical to winning Banner 17.
He would play three seasons with Boston, averaging 7.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game over that stretch.
