Every player in Boston Celtics history who wore No. 5

Today’s installment focuses on the 21 players who wore No. 5 over the years as of September 2023.

The Boston Celtics have more retired jerseys than any other team in the NBA, but that doesn’t mean the rest of their jerseys have little history of interest tied to them.

In fact, with 17 titles to their name and decades of competitive basketball played in them, their unretired jersey numbers pack in some of the most history not hanging from the rafters of any team in the league. To that end, we have launched our accounting of that history, with every player in every jersey worn by more than one Celtics player in the storied franchise’s history accounted for.

Who are the best international players to play for the Boston Celtics?

From Charlie Hoefer to Alaa Abdenaby to Rick Fox to Kristaps Porzingis, there has been no shortage of players who were born abroad who have worn the green and white.

The Boston Celtics are a storied franchise for more than just their titles. They have been a trailblazing team in terms of signing and fielding players from all over the world, a philosophy that started in their first season.

From Charlie Hoefer to Alaa Abdelnaby to Rick Fox to Kristaps Porzingis, there has been no shortage of players born abroad who have worn the green and white.

But who were the best and who were the worst? What criteria should we use to judge them across eras? In the spirit of the annual arrival of #RankingSeason, the thing to do is try.

And try the hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” did on a recent episode.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear how they assessed the international Celtics of all time.

On this day: NBA founded; Mercer, Moïso dealt; Overton born; Hemric RIP

On this day, the Celtics became part of the NBA after the Basketball Association of America/National Basketball League merger in 1949.

On this day in Boston Celtics history, the National Basketball Association as we know it today was born in 1949, with the Boston Celtics being a foundational franchise in it.

It was formed from the merger of the Basketball Association of America (BAA) and the National Basketball League (NBL – not to be confused with the Australian league of today with the same name, or any of several less-prominent leagues of the same name) which predated the BAA by a dozen years. The Celtics had been part of the BAA since its inception three years earlier, a league formed mainly by arena owners trying to find novel ways to fill their venues.

Boston benefited greatly from the merger of the two leagues via players they drafted from the dispersal drafts of teams that did not join the newly formed NBA, like Ed Macauley.

Four Boston Celtics alumni taken in new places in redraft of 2000 NBA draft class

Let’s take a look at which Celtics alumni landed where.

As Hoops Hype’s staff keep themselves busy reassessing the draft orders of the last few decades over the years, there are always a fair number of Boston Celtics alumni making moves in their re-drafts as a result.

In the H/H’s reassessment of the 2000 NBA draft class, a total of four Boston alumni ended up seeing their draft stock shift with the benefit of hindsight lifting their fortunes. And while they won’t see any pay raises or anything else of that sort given the fictitious nature of such an exercise, it’s also nice to see this group get their flowers, too.

Let’s take a look at which Celtics alumni landed where.

On this day: Announcer Johnny Most, Žan Tabak, Jérôme Moïso born; Mark Acres taken in ’89 expansion draft

On this day, Johnny Most, Jérôme Moïso, Žan Tabak were born. and Mark Acres was taken in the 1989 NBA expansion draft

On this day in Boston Celtics history, famed announcer Johnny Most was born in 1923 in New York City. Named for his paternal grandfather, an anarchist newspaper editor named Johann Most, the former Celtics announcer was perhaps best known for his explosive call at the end of Game 7 of the 1965 NBA East Division Finals when he shouted “Havlicek stole the ball!” in his trademark gravelly voice.

Most called games for the Celtics for 37 years between 1953 and 1990, covering some of the most iconic moments in franchise history — and in the case of several of them, helping make some of them especially iconic.

Most would pass after a heart attack sustained in 1993 and was posthumously honored with the Curt Gowdy Media Award by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame for his contributions to the sport.

The new league would have 17 teams playing in some of the larger arenas in the United States, and while it would lose a number of those teams in its first few seasons, it would then slowly grow into the 30-team league we know today.
