On this day: Grant Williams, Paul Westphal, Mark Blount, Darren Daye born

On this day, Boston Celtics Grant Williams, Paul Westphal, Mark Blount, and Darren Daye were born.

On this day in Boston Celtics history, point and shooting guard Paul Douglas Westphal was born in 1950 in Torrance, California. A product of the University of Southern California Trojans basketball program that saw him play at an All-American level, Westphal would be picked up with the 10th overall pick of the 1972 NBA draft by the Celtics, with whom he would play three seasons between 1972 and 1975.

The Californian floor general would win a title with Boston in 1974 before he was traded with draft assets in exchange for Phoenix Suns point guard Charlie Scott in May 1975.

Westphal would average 7.3 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game across 224 contests played for the Celtics in the three seasons he was with the franchise.

Ex-Celtics sharpshooter Matt Ryan on the Deuce Tatum-Grant Williams feud

The NBA journeyman gave his view of how the rivalry came to be and how it looked last he witnessed it.

Among the greatest of Boston Celtics rivalries, the ire between former Celtics reserve forward Grant Williams and Boston legend Deuce Tatum is a vendetta that will live on after both Williams and Deuce have moved on from their current careers as an NBA big man and darling of the Celtics’ organization respectively. But Jayson Tatum’s son and the St. Louis native’s former teammate have reportedly patched things up since Williams’ exit from the organization.

A mostly one-way feud to be honest, former Celtics sharpshooter Matt Ryan recently weighed in on the rivalry from his perspective in an interview with “The Hoops Chat’s” Emily Austin.

The NBA journeyman gave his view of how the rivalry came to be and how it looked last he witnessed it, as well as plenty of other Celtics stories in the full interview.
