The Celtics, Gordon Hayward & the Australian influence - Pt. 2
Every NBA team needs an Australian! That is the proposal by the Wall Street Journal's Ben Cohen and Chris Herring in an article updated on June 1, 2015.

They don’t seek superstardom. They actively avoid attention. They excel in the egoless roles that most players reject.
