Jersey of the Week: Roy Rogers No. 99 jersey

Roy Rogers played a grand total of 37 minutes for the Celtics wearing No. 99. We believe that this is the first decent internet sighting of possibly the grail-est of Beantown jerseys.

Given that you need to go back to 1956 for the last player (Mikan) to wear this number, it receives Jersey of the Week status and some much needed/completely unnecessary recognition.

No one in the league is currently sporting 99 though we kinda think  Mirza Teletovic should be.
