His scoring ability was so prolific, and his form so pure, that he earned the simple nickname, \u201cThe Shooter.\u201d He was also known as \u201cMr. Clutch.\u201d One of the many testaments to his clutch performances is the fact that his playoff scoring average (18.9) exceeded his regular season output (17.7). His number 24 was retired in 1969, the final year of his Celtics career, which of course resulted in an NBA Championship \u2013 his tenth. Only Bill Russell won more championships in his NBA career.
