During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Maxwell wore only jersey Nos. 30 and 31 and put up 13.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.3 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 second of 15 people to wear the No. 30, Boston forward alum Cedric Maxwell. After ending his college career at UNC Charlotte, Maxwell was picked up with the 12th overall selection of the 1977 NBA Draft by the Celtics.
The Kinston, North Carolina native would play the first eight seasons of his pro career with Boston (winning two titles and a finals MVP in that stretch) before he was dealt to the Los Angeles Clippers in 1985.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Maxwell wore only jersey Nos. 30 and 31 and put up 13.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.
