1.  Which Celtics number has been donned the most (26 times)? 

2.  Second most (25 times)? 

3.  Third most (24 times)?

4.  Name the seven numbers that are tied for having been donned the least (one time only)?

(no Googling)

Yes, that's one of the answers to question #4.  Six more.

Woops, I miscounted: there are actually eight (not seven) numbers worn only once.  Hint:  two are retired.

That's another one.  Now, six more.

Lol, and I'm wrong again.  #99 was worn twice, once by Darko and once by Roy Rogers in 1998.  Seven one-time only numbers remain (including two retired ones).

Okay, I probably don't know any more :)


Wait.

25 = KC Jones, retired after only he played with it ^_^

I would think 11, 12, 13 would be the most popular numbers, in that order.  Though off the top of my head, I can only think of a few guys who wore them.

11:  Courtney Lee, Glen Davis, Sasha Pavolic, Marcus Banks, Dana Barros, etc.

12: Barbosa, Ricky Davis, Dominique Wilkins

13: Fab Melo, Gabe Pruit, Todd Day.

For an honorable mention I'd go with 4 and 7, as the 4th and 5th most popular.

I imagine #4 would be one the most used numbers. #7 too. for the sake of this game I'll say the most used is 7 and second most is 4.

From what I remember:
#4: Marquis Daniels, Terry, Nate Robinson, Kristic, Chris Mihm, Ryan Gomes,
#7: Marquis Daniels, Al Jefferson, Kenny Anderson, Chucky Atkins, Jermaine O'Neil, Sully.

Those were just the recent ones.


One time uses. #66 Scot Pollard #00 Parish. Has anyone ever worn 1 and 2?


edit: I've been ninja'd  :D

I'm pretty sure 20 was a popular number, and so is 8.

I would also guess Antoine Walker was the only one to wear 88.

Can't think of anyone else wearing 36 other than Shaq.
