Finally, it is the birthday of former Boston big man Woodrow Sauldsberry too, who came into this world in 1934 in Winnsboro, Louisiana. A Texas Southern product, Sauldsberry was drafted 60th overall by the Philadelphia Warriors in the 1957 NBA Draft.
He would play for that franchise, the St. Louis Hawks and Chicago Packers/Zephyrs (they changed their name while he was on the team) before joining Boston after two seasons as a retired player.
Sauldsberry would win a title in a reserve role with the team in 1966, averaging 4.4 points and 3.6 blocks per game backing up Bill Russell.
