Celtics Trivia Game (2024)

Hint: Furthermore, the Celtics' head coach at the time had been one of their coaches in college.

This question isn't going well.

If somebody asked me, the easy first guess would have been Antoine Walker, Ron Mercer, and Walter McCarty, playing for Pitino just as they did at Kentucky. That's not quite correct -- I'm pretty sure Ron Mercer never made the playoffs as a Celtic -- but it's a jumping off point to get to the correct one.

True, but Wayne Turner played on that 96 Kentucky team as well and later for the Celtics in 1999. That team didn't make the playoffs either lol. However, Tony Delk did join up with Toine and Walter to make the playoffs, but with no Pitino... There must be some combo I'm not thinking of though since you hinted it's close to the correct answer.

Jim O'Brien was on Pitino's staff at Kentucky.

So then Delk, Toine and Walter with Jim O'Brien?

Are you referring to the 3pt shooting contest?

We've just about saturated all the Celtics Trivia. -- As this Thread has been around for 9 years.
You Guys and Gals want to expand it? -- Maybe go "NBA Trivia", especially during the off-season?

I lean to going all the way to general sports trivia, for reasons that include:

-- Threads like viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2335387&start=60 already exist.
-- It's currently a Summer Olympics year, which puts a lot of different sports into play ...
