On Jon Barry’s brief tenure with the Boston Celtics. Jon was drafted with the 21st pick in the 1992 draft and held out, hoping for a third year on his contract. The Boston Celtics didn’t want to give him a third year and really didn't care if he was on the team or not. Events unfolded. Also: why does everyone hate Rick Barry? And how do you pronounce Bart Kofoed's name?  ---  An NBA history podcast about bad teams, bad luck, and bad decisions.
