Boston Celtics: 15 players you forgot played for the Celtics
11. Jason Terry
Jason Terry was drafted 10th overall by the Atlanta Hawks in 1999. He had a rather successful career prior to joining the Boston Celtics as a 14 year veteran in 2012. Terry was on the NBA All-Rookie Second Team in 2000, became Sixth Man of the Year in 2009, and won an NBA championship in 2011.
After his rookie season, “The Jet” as he was often referred to, went on an incredible 13 year stretch of scoring in the double-digits on a per-game basis while playing in multiple positions. In fact, the 10.1 points per game Terry scored as a 35-year-old when he was on the Celtics was actually the lowest of his career since his rookie season.

It’s worth mentioning that the Celtics signed Terry to a three-year, $15 million contract during free agency in 2012. Terry was included in the franchise-changing trade package that sent himself, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett to the Brooklyn Nets for a haul of future first-round draft picks in 2014, 2016, and 2018, which turned into Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown, and Robert Williams.
In his lone season with the Boston Celtics, Terry averaged 10.1 points, two rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game.
