It is also the birthday of former Celtic guard Orien Greene, who came into this world in 1982 in Gainesville, Florida.
Greene played his college ball at the University of Florida and LSU. He was selected from the latter by Boston with the 53rd pick of the 2005 NBA draft.
The Gainesville native played one season for the Celtics before being waived, averaging 3.2 points, 1.8 boards, 1.6 assists, and a steal per game.
