| - Scalabrine came into his own as a player for the Boston Celtics during their 2007-08 championship season, when he was the only white player on the team, and one of only six crackers in the entire league (although several other players, including Delonte West, have counted in the official stats as 0.5 of a white man). For most of the 2007-08 season, Celtics coach Doc Rivers utilized Scalabrine's talents to keep the sideline chairs at a comfortable, slightly-above-room temperature.

A 6'9" inbounder from USC, Scalabrine was drafted by the New Jersey Nets in 2001, as part of the NBA's Affirmative Action Program for Differently-Abled White Men. In 2010, Scalabrine went to the Chicago Bulls for $50 and a box of Mike & Ikes. He supplemented his chair-heating talents by selling lemonade and wiping the court during timeouts.
