Welcome back to legendary Boston Celtics beat writer Bob Ryan‘s latest installment of his deep dive into the history of the sixth man role in the NBA, and how it has evolved to the present day.
In today’s segment, we dive deep with Ryan into the story of the true pioneer of the sixth man role in the history of the league, legendary Celtics champion wing Frank Ramsey.
Known by his peers on the Celtics and across the Association as the ultimate team player, Ramsey set the stage for generations of players like him to make a significant impact on their team’s ability to win while primarily coming off the bench.
His contributions to the Celtics during their early dynasty years have left an indelible mark on the history of the league.
