Brian Scalabrine was one of the most popular players in the game during his years in the NBA.   After a successful college career, in which he led USC Trojans to an appearance in the Elite Eight in 2001, Scalabrine was selected 34^th overall by the New Jersey Nets.  Although Scalabrine averaged 12.9 minutes and 2.7 points per game during his time with the Celtics, he was a part of the 2008 Celtics’ championship team and had an outpouring of fan support.  Now, Scalabrine is the lead color commentator for Celtics games on NBC Sports Boston.
