During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Telfair wore only jersey No. 30 and put up 6.1 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game.
The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.
And for today's article, we will continue with the ninth of 15 people to wear the No. 30, Boston guard alum Sebastian Telfair. Making the leap directly to the NBA from high school, Telfair was picked up with the 13th overall selection of the 2004 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Brooklyn, New York native would play the first two seasons of his pro career with the Blazers before he was dealt to Boston in 2006. His stay with the team would span a single season, coming to an end when he was dealt to the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2007.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Telfair wore only jersey No. 30 and put up 6.1 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game.
