What the Hell Happened to...Erick Strickland?
He was a tough lefty-combo guard who was the master of taking
charges. In 2002 the Celtics were 4-0 with him as the starting point
guard when Kenny Anderson got injured. I for one was crushed when he
left Boston after his one season. If you remember the Cinderella
Celtics of 2002, you absolutely remember Erick Strickland.
A
former Nebraska Cornhusker (and a tremendous...
What the Hell Happened to...Rubén Wolkowyski?
He shared locker room with other fellow WTHHT members as Kedrick Brown, Vin Baker and Tony Delk and had the privilege of wearing Raef LaFrentz´s #45 before he became a member of the Celtics. He also had the honor of being the first Argentinian player to play in the NBA with the Sonics first and then with the Celtics.
Today we will talk about a player that was a teammate of our...
What the Hell Happened To...Kedrick Brown?
He was the super athlete before Gerald Green. If you were young and naive and someone said he could jump out of a gym you might've believed it. He was the guy Phoenix really wanted in the Joe Johnson-Rodney Rogers deal. As Joe Johnson continues to be relevant in the NBA today, the guy the Celtics picked at #11 behind him, definitely isn't. This week in What The Hell...
Former Celtics dominate Kentucky alumni game
Ok "dominate" might be a slight exaggeration, but former Celtics Antoine Walker, Walter McCarty, and Tony Delk were in full effect during the Kentucky alumni game. Rajon Rondo (and Ron Mercer) didn't attend for some reason, but who needs Rondo when you have Delk dishing sweet passes to McCarty for dunks.
Here are some more 'Toine highlights. And since someone...

What are they doing? Where are they now? What are they up to? These are the many questions that are twirling around in the minds of those loyal University of Kentucky fans about the very basketball players they had once admired, cheered on and watched play ball for many years. I had the chance to visit with one of those heroes, 1996 NCAA title winner, Tony Delk.

1996 Kentucky vs. 2012 Kentucky
1996 Kentucky vs. 2012 Kentucky
There have been a lot of comparisons between the 2012 Kentucky Wildcats and the 1996 Kentucky Wildcats that both won the national title. On the surface both teams were stacked with NBA Talent and were expected to win it all that season. Let’s take a closer look and see if this comparison actually makes sense by looking at the rosters.
1996 Kentucky...

Logging on each day, Sept. 30-Oct. 5, Casey offered his thoughts on his first pro camp, his new teammates and the city of Flagstaff, and shared a number of entertaining stories on subjects...
Memory Lane Monday: Rodney Rogers
A couple of weeks ago, I featured Tony Delk in “Memory Lane Monday”. Two weeks later, I thought whom better to feature than the man that came over with Delk from the Suns in a 2002 trade that including Joe Johnson. Rogers and Delk were both key contributors to the C’s deep postseason run that season, and brought that chemistry they built in Phoenix over to Boston.
Although...

Despite only playing a season and a half in Boston, Tony Delk was a big contributor in the C’s postseason run in 2002, when the team made the Eastern Conference Finals.
Delk came over in a trade with Rodney Rodgers from Phoenix midway through the 2001-02 campaign. The Suns received Milt Palacio, Randy Brown, and Joe Johnson in exchange for Delk and Rodgers. Now, looking back on...
