Boston Celtics jersey history No. 21 - Jack Garfinkle (1946-49)
Boston Celtics jersey history No. 21 - Jack Garfinkle (1946-49) 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 first of nine people to wear the No. 21, guard alum Jack Garfinkle. After ending his college career at St. John's, Garfinkle joined the Celtics in their (and the BAA's) first-ever season of existence. The Brooklyn, New York native played all three of his seasons in the BAA with Boston before retiring from the league. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Garfinkle wore only jersey Nos. 15 and 21 and put up 5.2 points and 1.5 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.
