During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Bass wore only jersey No. 30 and put up 10.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game.
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 12th of 15 people to wear the No. 30, Boston big man alum Brandon Bass. After ending his college career at LSU, Bass was picked up with the 33rd overall selection of the 2005 NBA Draft by the (then) New Orleans Hornets (now, Pelicans).
The Baton Rouge, Louisiana native also played for the Dallas Mavericks and Orlando Magic before he was dealt to Boston in 2011. His stay with the team would span four seasons before he would sign with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2015.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Bass wore only jersey No. 30 and put up 10.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game.
