Season with Celtics[]
The only season he spent with the Celtics came in the 1996-97 season, when the team was on tank-mode to contend for Tim Duncan. It was the worst season for Celtics teams ever with 15 wins. Marty was an important member of that team for 74 games (starting 15) averaging around 7.5 ppg and 4.5 rebounds for 21 minutes per game. The following season, the Evil Emperor came to Boston once again to coach, and Marty was booted out.[1]
