It is also the date of the 1984 NBA Draft, in which the Boston Celtics took two players of note. The first was Michael Young, a 6-foot-7 small forward drafted out of the University of Houston.
He would never play for the Celtics, but managed to carve out a career for himself overseas, with short stints playing for the Phoenix Suns and Philadelphia 76ers before landing a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers in 1989-90, his last in the NBA.
