It is the birthday of former Celtic big man Raef LaFrentz, who was born in Hampton, Iowa in 1976. The Iowan came from the Dallas Mavericks to Boston in a deal with Chris Mills, Jiri Welsch and draft assets in exchange for Tony Delk and Antoine Walker.
LaFrentz would be with the Celtics for three seasons between 2003 and 2006, recording 9.2 points, 5.8 points and 1.3 assists per contest.
He would be dealt to the Portland Trail Blazers with Dan Dickau and Randy Foye for Theo Ratliff, Sebastian Telfair and draft considerations.
