Today in Boston Celtics history, Jason Paul Collins was born in Los Angeles, California in 1978. Collins played his college ball with the Stanford University Cardinals, with whom he was feted with NABC Third Team All-American and First Team All-PAC 10 honors in 2001.

The Boston Celtics are on a roll right now, as they have won five of their past six games, with their latest victory seeing them snap the Detroit Pistons’ 13-game win streak. While the players on the court deserve their fair share of praise,

Jaylen Brown was in his bag in the third hitting his 37th point of the contest over Mitchell Robinson as the Boston faithful were getting loud. A Derrick White three-pointer capped a 12-0 Celtic run to end the quarter, Boston in complete control, 94-76.

During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Wilcox wore only jersey No. 44 and put up 4.6 points and 3.4 rebounds per game.

The Celtics will be hosting their first NBA Cup game of the season against the Nets Friday night. All 30 NBA teams have different courts for the third straight season to promote awareness of the in-season tournament. Boston will use a court with a lighter shade of green this year with an NBA Cup logo in the middle of the floor.
