Completely random, but who remembers Marty and his ridiculous free throw?  The pic doesn't even do him justice, as I remember the elbow actually going below the knees.

Marty Conlon was my introduction to irony in basketball. I think he was a go-to punch line for 2-3 years.

Why was this moved from Celtics Talk?  If I was talking about Bird, another former Celtic, would that also be considered Off-Topic?

It makes no difference at all.  I just feel bad for poor Marty that he's considered off-topic in a forum called "Celtics Talk" ;D.

I played basketball at the same high school as Marty Conlon, Archbishop Stepinac.  I played about 10 years after he left.  He's still a god there- they're having a alumni breakfast for him in October, got the newsletter the other day  ;D

Now he's in Celtics History, which I think is our newest forum, having only been opened a short time ago.  Hopefully that makes all involved happy. ;)

Marty Conlon is always one of the first guys mentioned when my friends and I look back on the hard times.  Brett Szabo, who somebody mentioned, is always one of those too.  How bout Marlon Garnet, Milt Palacio, and Frank Brikowski.  I am missing so many more but I just can't come up with them at this point in time.  I'm in class, lol.  But yeah, good times  ;D

Brickowski was pretty good in his prime, before he joined Celtics.  Kinda like when we got broken down Tom Gugliotta.  Even Lohaus and Fred Roberts ended up playing decent ball for someone else.

Anyway, props to Marty Conlon -- he was more of a Celtic than most of us could have ever hoped to be.

Thomas Hamilton (or just HAM to those on Ebay) may be one of the worst NBA players ever

He was so bad I couldn't find a picture of him in C's uniform using Google Image search!

IIRC, he wasn't really that bad (just mediocre), but extremely fat. He was like Eddy Curry on steroids.

Conlon played here during Antoine's rookie season, pre-Pitino, right? Those were some horrid times, the team was so bad that guys like Conlon were actually pretty useful.
