On this day in 1960, former Boston Celtics point guard John Bagley was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Bagley would play his college ball at Boston College before being drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 1982 NBA Draft, and would play with that franchise and the New Jersey Nets before being traded to the Celtics in 1989.
Bags would play for the Celtics for three seasons between 1989 and 1992, but missed the 1990-91 season entirely due to knee trouble and subsequent surgery.
He would average 5.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 5.8 assists in that stretch with the team. He would sign a deal with the Atlanta Hawks in November of 1993, his last stop in the league before retiring.
