It is also the birthday of former Celtic big man Ramón Rivas, born in Carolina, Puerto Rico in 1966.
He would play his NCAA ball at Temple University before being signed by Boston as an undrafted player in 1988 for the following season, his sole in the NBA.
Happy birthday Ramon Rivas! Out of Temple you played in 28 games and scored 40 points in your entire career: 1 year, 1989, Boston Celtics. But hey, for Puerto Rico, you put Alonzo Mourning on a poster in the Bronze Medal game. That’s something, ain’t it? Sure it is. #Celtics pic.twitter.com/wEvW1m6idZ
