On this day: Banner 17 won; Bias drafted; Jones, Ray born

On this day, the Boston Celtics won their 17th banner, defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals.

Today is also the birthday of ex-Celtic shooting guard Allan Ray, who was born in the Bronx, New York in 1984.

Ray was signed by Boston as an undrafted free agent in 2006, having played his college ball with Villanova.

He would also play just one season for the Celtics, logging 6.2 points and 1.5 assists per game across 47 contests played.
