For a contest that has been part of the NBA All-Star Week goings-on for nearly 30 years, you’d think there would have been more Boston Celtics participants than four by 2024, and with Jaylen Brown entering this year’s, there will soon be five. But it has been one aspect of the official All-Star events where the Celtics have been chronically under-represented.
But despite the paucity of Celtic participants over the years, there have been some pretty spectacular flushes across the decades, some of them sharing not only the uniform of Brown, but even the same last name on the jersey.
Let’s take a look at the dunkers, dunks, and how they did.
