Celtics Get Rid Of Clifford Ray



The Celtics are not bringing back Celtics big man coach Clifford Ray. Clifford has done a hell of a job with our big man to this point, but with the young guys becoming veterans, his talents are no longer necessary.

He has done wonders with Perk and Big Baby and wil be missed. But right now with Shaq, KG, Jermaine O'Neal and Perk and Baby, they should all be teaching and learning from each other.

Part of me wonders if he was a Tom Thibodeau guy.

A Hero On The Celtics

The answer may surprise you but it is Clifford Ray:


You probably know him as the older version, this guy:


I was reading his wikipedia page last night for some reason and I came up with this gem:
"In 1978, Ray was in the news for an entirely different reason: he helped save a dolphin's life. At Marine World in Redwood City, California, during maintenance in the tank of a bottlenose dolphin named "Mr. Spock", the dolphin swallowed a sharp screw. The veterinarian was unwilling to perform a risky operation while the screw was still in the dolphin's first stomach, just inches beyond his reach. His frustrated suggestion that he needed longer arms led someone to ask local star Ray (whose arms are 3 feet 9 inches, or 114 centimeters, long) if he could help. With gloves, lubrication, and guidance, he was able to reach down Spock's throat and retrieve the screw before it could cause more damage." Wiki

Amazing. A lot of time he gets over looked, but I had no idea he was this noble. Not only does he teach Perks amazing post moves, but he saves dolphins with his spare time. So for that Clifford Ray, we at Dueling Couches salute you.
