On this day in Boston Celtics history, former Boston big man Stacey King was born in Lawton, Oklahoma back in 1967. King would play his college ball at the University of Oklahoma before being picked up with the sixth overall pick by the Chicago Bulls in the 1989 NBA draft.
As far as being a part of Celtic history goes, you can’t get much more tenuous than King. The man has almost as many rings (3– from his time with the Chicago Bulls, where he won 3 years in a row with Michael Jordan between 1991 and 1993) as he does games with Boston.
King played a total of 5 tilts with the Celtics after he signed a 10-day contract but did not renew with a second, dissatisfied with how he was being used and how the organization was run under ML Carr.
