Not Rondo (44 pts + 18 rbs). Very known name, but very, very suprisingly

Wow, Rondo never got 20 rebounds. hard to believe.

I guess it is crazy guess time. I guess it is a knuckleball (as we say in the states).

Tiny Archibald?
Danny Ainge?

I'm guessing Todd Day. He was a stats padder.

Davor, you are all-NBA poster. 9/9. Great work. Gilmore is the tough one in the 80s.

I have a special one for you now:
Five players who played for the Celtics in the 1990s are in the Hall of Fame. (Note that some of the guys who played for the Cs in the 90s will likely get in the Hall of Fame; they are not there now).

Who are they?

Hmm. Last one will be tough.

Bird
Parish
McHale
Dominique

What other over the hill or foolishly traded star? Or euro?
Billups Pierce not yet. Wesley fox Barros no.
Otis birdsong lol. Waltah?

Did dino get enshrined recently? I guess Radja.

You know that 6-8 LeBron James also never got 20 rebounds in a game.

That's sounding like Bob McAdoo, who was one of my top guesses anyway. Wait a moment; RealGM says he peaked at 11 rebounds in his career. How could that be?? ... It also has Dave Cowens peaking at 14, so presumably they're missing some data from players of that era ... Well, anyway, it's not McAdoo; he doesn't have nearly that many rings.

The only Celtics to win exactly 5 NBA championships are Don Nelson and Larry Siegfried, so I'm well and truly stumped.

I was surprised that Nelson scored 40 in a game, and shocked that he had 22 rbs...

I should have gotten that. Nellie was a surprisingly good rebounder.
