The “White Mamba” Warmup
Date: 2000s
Brian Scalabrine made sure to include Boston’s latest NBA World Championship title when he signed this warmup jacket. His modest statistics – he averaged three points per game during five years with the Celtics – earned Scalabrine the nickname “White Mamba” as a light-hearted comparison to NBA legend Kobe Bryant’s “Black Mamba” moniker. Scalabrine emerged as a fan favorite and returned to the Celtics as a broadcaster starting in the 2015-16 season.
