On this day: former Celtics Don Chaney, Ed Macauley, Brian Shaw born

On this day in Boston Celtics history, a trio of former Boston Celtics were born. The first of which is former Celtics guard Don Chaney, born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana today in 1946. Chaney would play his college ball at the University of Houston and would be picked up 12th overall by Boston in the 1968 NBA Draft.

He would win a championship in his rookie year with the Celtics, and another with them in 1974 before season-long stints with the Spirits of St. Louis in the ABA, and rival Los Angeles Lakers. Chaney would return to Boston to finish his career in 1977, retiring as a player in 1979 with the Celtics, averaging 8.7 points and 3.9 rebounds over 10 seasons with the team.
