Boston Celtics jersey history No. 20 - Dick Hemric (1955-57)
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.

Move over Carrie Bradshaw: This is the hottest stoop in NYC
Diamonds, for some, are a girl's best friend. Other luxe lovers dig designer finery. But Kristi Hemric, a married Upper East Side mom of four, adores décor — and you sure can't miss it. With the façade of her five-story townhouse on 78th Street as her canvas, she artfully beautifies the building with faux flowers, spending hours (and a small fortune) on the lavish landscapes she dreams up in her head. 12 To beautify her block after NYC execs covered it in 'ugly' scaffolding, Hemric, a married Upper East Side mom of four, and her husband, David, routinely deck out their stoop with lavish fake floral displays. Emmy Park for NY Post To toast the dawn of spring, the millennial covered the exterior of her crib, located between Second and Third avenues, in light pink tulips, peonies and bows, bidding the grayness of winter a cheery farewell. For Easter, crochet carrots, bunny rabbit busts and rosy roses took center stage on Hemric's ever-changing, never boring stoop sensations. Ahead of Mother's Day, she hit the motherlode, adorning her doorpost in toy petals, much to the delight of tickled onlookers. Over 5 million digital fans gave the pretty playthings a virtual thumbs-up, too. Her efflorescent embellishments are public displays of affection for a community she loves. And it comes with heaps of precious perks. 'We love looking out of our windows and seeing people on the stoop,' Hemric, a 36-year-old lifestyle influencer, told The Post. 'It's like our own reality TV show.' 12 Hemric and her family enjoy welcoming people and pups onto their stoop for flashy photos. Emmy Park for NY Post The look-at-me layouts serve as her welcome mat to NYC, inviting Gothamites to stop and stare at her stairs. 'I cover my stoop in flowers to make my house fun and pretty,' she said. 'We've had couples get engaged here, people take their graduation pictures here, puppies come for photos.' 12 Hemric and her husband, David, invited dogs from a local shelter to snap adoption photos at their home on Friday. Emmy Park for NY Post It's a neighborly vibe that comes in stark contrast to the homeowners of Carrie Bradshaw's famous 'Sex and the City' West Village stoop, who — aggravated by the endless seas of series fans flocking to their 66 Perry St. brownstone for photos — posted a 'No Trespassing, Private Property' warning near their front door. Hemric's family, however, doesn't share that sentiment. They do have a little sign on their abode, but it reads, 'Feel free to snap pics! Please tag us,' with her social media handles inscribed. The visionary's vibrant installations can take anywhere from five hours to two weeks to arrange. 12 She welcomes local charities, including dog shelters, to use the flowery facade of her home as a pretty backdrop for pup-adoption photos. 'It's not about the money,' said Hemric. 'I just love making my house pretty and fun.' Emmy Park for NY Post Most recently, rescues from Muddy Paws, a downtown doggy shelter, posed for 'adopt-me' pics on Hemric's steps ahead of Memorial Day Weekend. For the frames, she and her husband, David, curated a canine-friendly motif, complete with synthetic sunflowers and bouncy tennis balls. But transforming their staircase into a blossomy showcase in honor of a new season or major holiday is no cheap thrill. 12 It's a costly, yet cutesy pastime of the millennial, who — unlike the grumpy owners of Carrie Bradshaw's iconic 'Sex and the City' stairway — wants folks to come snap selfies and make memories outside of her front door. Emmy Park for NY Post Hemric has shelled out the green on silk stems, animal-shaped statues, pots and planters from home-good shops, such as Hobby Lobby and Pottery Barn, over the past two years. The creative chose not to disclose exactly how much money she's spent on all the splendor. She and David also purchased several huge, natural Wisteria branches and drilled them into their home. The living limbs support the rotation of fake florals that adorn their doorpost. The couple stores the flowers in their basement — which has become a color-coded garden of artificial blooms — to clean and reuse in future stoop setups. Owing to the virality of their masterworks, the pair even scored sponsored brand deals with haute homeware label, MacKenzie-Childs and LEGO's Botanical Collection — building-block bouquets their young sons happily helped mommy and daddy assemble. For those visuals, the family project earned upwards of 202,000 social media likes. 12 The millennial partnered with LEGO to create an elaborate display of building-block flowers from the brand's Botanical Collection. Courtesy Kristi Hemric Online spectators guestimate that their outdoor displays cost around $2,500 per look. But 'it's not about the money,' Hemric insisted. 'It brings joy to the neighborhood, and we love it,' she told The Post, adding that they haven't experienced any thefts or damage to their posh property. Hemric and David, with kids ranging in age from 2 to 5, began investing in the curb appeal of their dwelling in July 2023. That's when NYC officials turned their street into a construction-site eyesore. 12 Hemric, who chose not to disclose how much each of the vibrant displays cost her and hubby David, told The Post that peeking out the windows of her five-story townhouse to see passersby take pics, pop the big question or simply applaud her work is like having a reality TV show. Emmy Park for NY Post 'One morning, we woke up to the city drilling into our house, putting up scaffolding,' she recalled, claiming the authorities originally erected the unsightly structure for brickwork repairs. She assumes the mess is still standing for future fixes. Thankfully, at the urging of her lawyers, the city has removed a portion of the hardware from her home. However, she says it's far from a home run. 'This ugly scaffolding covered our entire entryway,' Hemric groaned. 'It was only supposed to be up for a month — it's been two years.' 12 Hemric and David have decked out their doorway for every season since 2023. Courtesy Kristi Hemric 12 For Valentine's Day, Hemric and her family cut out hearts to decorate the front of their building. Courtesy Kristi Hemric 12 The décor lover regularly snags eye-catching home goods from top shops and labels in and around the city. Courtesy Kristi Hemric 12 Hemric enjoys using fruits, figurines and fun accents to jazz up the look of her stairs. Courtesy Kristi Hemric But when life gives her lemons, she simply uses them in her stoop installations. The bright, yellow fruit starred in her summer 2024 exhibition, which inspired her boys to pitch a $2 lemonade stand on the steps. The kiddos sold the tart refreshments to impressed passersby. To celebrate this year's hot season, Hemric is bringing Italy's Amalfi Coast to the Big Apple. 'We'll have huge orange trees and lemon trees and these beautiful, royal-blue checkered pots from Mackenzie-Childs,' she said, teasing her forthcoming theme. 12 Hemric's already begun visualizing her next flowery design. Emmy Park for NY Post 'It won't be flower-heavy,' she said, 'but it will be really, really pretty.' For her, it's all about sprucing up her street — and the family will 'keep doing this as long as it's fun for us,' she declared. 'Selfishly, we get so much joy out of doing it,' Hemric laughed. 'So, the fact that other people get joy out of it, too, is just icing on the cake.

From elation to disappointment, Rhodes and Hemric reflect on overtime finish
FORT WORTH, Texas — A tale of two cities transpired on pit road as the checkered flag flew on the 25o from Texas Motor Speedway on Friday night. With Corey Heim standing tall, victorious at the start/finish line, Ben Rhodes and Daniel Hemric were left with mixed emotions after the final restart in NASCAR Overtime. RELATED: Unofficial Texas results | At-track photos: Texas Rhodes restarted on the outside front row on the final restart on Lap 172 and held pace with Heim, who had the dominant truck all night, leading 96 of the 174 total laps. Advertisement Heading into Turn 3, coming to the white flag, there was slight contact between the two front-runners, pushing the No. 99 of Rhodes up the race track and leaving the door open for the No. 19 of Daniel Hemric to charge to the bottom, making it three-wide at the white flag. When the race was all said and done, neither Hemric nor Rhodes would wind up in Victory Lane, with the No. 11 of Heim taking home the win. Exiting his ThorSport Racing in frustration, Rhodes said he felt he was raced unfairly and had no room to challenge for victory at the end. 'I think we got used up by the 11 being on the outside line with clean air on both of our noses,' Rhodes said on pit road post-race. 'He just decided to run us up the track and out of the groove at both ends of the track. So on the last restart, you know, we're in three and four. We're coming back around to the white; he runs me way high. We both have to lift, pretty unacceptable, in my opinion, because, you know, we could have wrecked there. 'So, you know, I'm not gonna cry about it, but it just stinks when you have a good opportunity to win a race and then you get run a little dirty. But you know, I know how it is with him, and he's got his third win of the season. We're still looking for our first right now, so when you have these opportunities, you need to seize them, and that's what we're trying to do.' Advertisement Parked one spot ahead of the two-time Craftsman Truck Series champion on pit road was the runner-up finisher, Hemric, who was able to capitalize on the Heim-Rhodes scrap to maneuver his Chevrolet to the inside of the two and have a shot at the win entering Turn 1. 'I knew when they got side by side I'd have a big run,' Hemric said. 'I didn't know if I have enough pure tire capability left to make the move, and kind of created just enough angle to get left of the 11 to get three-wide at the bottom, just didn't have enough left to make it stick through one and two.' 'So either way, we were not good when we started. (Crew chief) Josh Graham did the exceptional job of tuning on me correctly, in the right direction, and yeah, ultimately found ourselves with the opportunity and stayed quite close.' Close it was, as the Kannapolis, North Carolina native had a shot on the final lap to punch his ticket to Victory Lane for the second time this season. At the end of the night, that is all Hemric could ask for out of his No. 19 McAnally-Hilgemann Racing team. 'Just trying to win,' Hemric said. 'That's what this team deserves. That's what everyone on this No. 19 team deserves. I feel like, you know, we put so much into this deal, and we overcame some adjustments and stuff that we had to go through at the beginning of the race. You've got to go for the win. That's what we did. Came up short, but great execution today.'

Daniel Hemric picks up 1st NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win of career
During the week before Friday night's Boys and Girls Club of the Blue Ridge 200 at Martinsville Speedway, Daniel Hemric practiced his back flip. It was the signature move he had been able to use just once in NASCAR national series competition -- when he won the 2021 season finale at Phoenix Raceway to clinch the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship. But on Friday, the 34-year-old from Kannapolis, N.C., had a chance to perform the celebratory move once again, after capitalizing on the misfortunes of others -- notably series leader Corey Heim -- to win the first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race of his career. Hemric even stuck the landing, reveling in the race win that earned him a coveted grandfather clock trophy and a $50,000 Triple Truck Challenge bonus as the highest-finishing series regular. Daniel Hemric celebrates in victory lane. AFP "It's a funny thing, because my wife asked me a couple weeks ago if I was not too old to do it," Hemric said of the back flip. "I practiced once last week in the backyard and did a back flip on solid ground. "I thought, 'The old man's still got it,' and I proved that tonight." Hemric needed help to win the second national series race of his career. Heim won the first two stages and led a race-high 149 of 200 laps, but side-to-side contact with Kaden Honeycutt's Chevrolet after a Lap 166 restart cut Heim's left-rear tire and sent his No. 11 Toyota to pit road for fresh rubber. Honeycutt inherited the lead, but on Lap 187, the Ford of Ty Majeski broke loose under Honeycutt's Silverado as the two drivers were battling for the lead, and both trucks spun into the outside wall. That put Tyler Ankrum, Hemric's McAnally-Hilgemann Racing teammate, at the front of the field, but with four laps left, Hemric used his bumper to dive underneath Ankrum's truck, made the pass for the lead and pulled away to win by 0.544 seconds. Daniel Hemric gestures after winning the NASCAR series. AFP "Congratulations to Daniel -- I can't think of a nicer guy to win," Ankrum said. "Yeah, he gave me the bumper, but you're going to do that at Martinsville. I honestly would much rather have a teammate give me the bumper for the win, so we can just get a win for MHR." Jake Garcia finished third, followed by Chandler Smith and Ben Rhodes. Heim rallied to finish sixth after the tire change but fell short in his attempt to win in Toyota's 500th race in the series. "I feel like we got used up a little bit there," Heim said of the contact with Honeycutt. "I don't think he intended to cut my left rear down. I think if he had wanted to do that, he would have just wrecked me as it is... "I just needed a better restart, I guess." It was the second straight week of frustration for Heim, who won the first two stages at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Mar. 21 before losing power in the late going and finishing third. Heim nevertheless retains the series lead by 20 points over Majeski. Associated Press
