The 5 best Boston Celtics Summer League players ever

No. 4: Gerald Green

The high-flying slasher began his career with Boston in 2005, and played in 11 summer league games across two seasons.

In 2006, he broke out for 18.6 points per game, leading a fun and talented roster that also featured Sebastian Telfair, Ryan Gomes, and Allan Ray — not to be confused with Ray Allen. All four players took turns with 23-plus point games. 

Green went on to have an injury-plagued 12-year career with eight different NBA teams. He took home the Slam Dunk Contest title in 2007, and made one brief comeback to Boston in the 2016-17 season, appearing in 46 games off the bench. 

He had one of the best three-point shooting seasons of his career as part of the shot-chucking Mike D’Antoni and James Harden-led Houston Rockets in 2019, his final year in the league.
