During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Carr wore only jersey No. 30 and put up 6.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.3 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 third of 15 people to wear the No. 30, Boston forward alum ML Carr. After ending his college career at Guilford College, Carr was picked up with the 76th overall selection (there were many more rounds in that era of the draft) of the 1973 NBA Draft by the (then) Kansas City-Omaha (now, Sacramento) Kings.
The Wallace, North Carolina native instead signed with the ABA's (defunct) Spirits of St. Louis, and also played for the Detroit Pistons before he signed with Boston for the final six seasons of his NBA career.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Carr wore only jersey No. 30 and put up 6.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game.
