Compiled by Robert Thompson and Josh Golden
Are you interested in finding out which Celtic is no stranger to the gym? How about who the most gullible player on the team is? Celtics.com got together with a couple players and found out all the dirt that Celtics fans have been wondering throughout the season. We'll let you know who the team clown is, and who on the team would be a NASCAR driver had they never gotten a chance in the NBA.
