Given the storied history of the Boston Celtics, it should not surprise that some of the highest-paid small forwards in NBA history have donned the green and white at some point in their careers in the league.
We were reminded of this fact at the Celtics Wire by a recent assessment of the highest-paid players who played the 3 as their primary position in the Association by HoopsHype’s Dionysis Aravantinos, with a total of three such players having been Boston players during their NBA careers. Perhaps even more interesting is the player who holds the top spot among Celtics alumni, not a player many might guess.
Let’s dive into the trio of Boston alumni who help make up this list.
