Luigi Datome: the Man, the Myth, the Legend

Years from now, Boston fans will tell their children about the legendary, bearded, coffee-chugging, man-bun-wearing, last-second-advice-giving Luigi Datome.

Thursday, February 19th, 2015 - a day that will long be celebrated and remembered in the annals of Celtics history. On this most glorious of days, Danny Ainge worked his GM magic and acquired one of the most astounding players in Celtics-fan-favorite history - Luigi Datome.

The Italian sharpshooter was wasted on the Detroit bench, and was brought over to the C's, along with Jonas Jerebko, in exchange for Tayshaun Prince. Datome had not been successful in his stint with the Pistons, and was sent packing to bring Prince back to his old stomping grounds.
