Question
Hello Fabio,

thanks for last time the answer about Trade between Lakers and Celtics. Now I have a new question about foto identify, looking for help from you.

take a look at the foto on follow link:

It's a foto about Red been surround by other celtics legend players in old Boston Garten.

I'd like to identify whom was on that picture, I already know a lot of them but not all of them.

I could write down their name as from left side to right side is Tom Sanders, Chris Ford, Bill Sharman, Bob Cousy, Hondo, ?, Dave Bing, Larry Bird, Don Nelson, Tommy Heinsohn, Red, ML Carr, JoJo White, Tiny, Bill Russell, Gerald Henderson, Sam Jones, ?, Ed Macauley,Frank Ramsey,Clyde Lovellette.

I am not quite sure about Clyde Lovellette. Two of them I
put questionsmark here because I have no idea. The man stand behind Frank Ramsey is no way to be find out from this picture. So if you can offer some information like which event is this, when is this, then will be very great to solve this Problem.

Answer
Bruno,

you detected most of the players but from what I see you made a couple of mistakes too.
First, the one you identified as Dave Bing is Charlie Scott, the North Carolina alum drafted by Auerbach even if Charlie had already signed an ABA contract with the Virginia Squires.
The one you identified as Ed Macauley is Jim Loscutoff, and the one you identified as Clyde Lovellette, as you anticipated is not Clyde, but Bailey Howell.
The one standing just behind Sam Jones, I can’t recognize him because his face is partly hidden by Loscutoff. But your first question mark, the player behind Havlicek and Scott is Henry “Hank” Finkel, there’s no doubt.
This photo was taken in April 1995 in the Old Garden, during a halftime special honoring the Celtics legends.
I hope this helps you
