On this day in Celtics history, we honor Saul Mariaschin — a Harvard alum and teammate of George H.W. Bush who led the Crimson to their lone NCAA tourney run before Jeremy Lin’s 2011 squad — drafted by Washington but suiting up for Boston where he averaged 7.7 points and 1.4 assists in one season, becoming the last Harvard grad to make an NBA postseason until Lin’s 2013 run. Also remembered: Jaylen Brown and Bill Russell speaking out against the Jacob Blake shooting, echoing calls for justice with Russell tweeting, “This has to stop!” And we pay tribute to Robert “Bevo” Nordmann, who played for St. Louis, Cincinnati, Hawks, Knicks, and briefly the Celtics (3 games, 2.0 PPG, 2.7 RPG), whose legacy threads through Boston’s rich basketball tapestry.
