Hall of Famer Bill Sharman played from 1950-1961 with the Washington Capitols and Boston Celtics where he was a 4-time NBA Champion with the Celtics. Sharman was an 8-time NBA All-Star and the 1955 NBA All-Star Game MVP. Sharman was a 4-time All-NBA First Team selection and was selected to the NBA’s 25th and 50th Anniversary All-Time Teams. Sharman was a tremendous athlete who not only played a dozen years in the NBA, but also played six seasons in the minor leagues as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Although he was brought up to the Major League team, Sharman did not get into a game. After his collegiate career at the University of Southern California, where he played basketball and baseball, Sharman was selected in the second round of the 1950 draft by the Capitols, one of the original NBA franchises – playing only the one season until they folded. It was his time in Boston where Sharman made his mark, not only individually as a player, but being a key player in setting up the dominant run of NBA titles for the Boston Celtics franchise.
