Yep me & Acres were an "educational" bench
Fred Roberts was drafted out of Brigham Young by the Bucks but certainly didn't have a similar career to Danny Ainge. After a couple of deals (including serving as compensation to the Spurs for the Nets stealing Stan Albeck as coach) Roberts began his career with the Spurs and went on to Utah before being traded to the Celtics for their 3rd round pick (Billy Donovan actually).
After being given the first forward off the bench role he proceeded to do little to nothing in giving Bird and McHale rest. He was awful. I actually don't even think he'd make this year's C's squad. Maybe he'd be right there with Scalabrine but I want to say it's close.
You know it's all starting to make sense why the Celtics didn't win it all in 1988. You may recall a couple weeks ago that we found out that Mark Acres is a 6th grade teacher. Well he's not alone from that 1988 squad. Good 'ol Fred Roberts also teaches 6th grade in Utah at Lincoln Academy. No offense to teachers, really; they're intelligent people and could make a lasting impact on a youngster's life. But is anyone else wondering why that Celts bench was so weak? I mean Johnny Rondo teaches, was he the ballboy on that team? What's next? Did Darren Daye also teach?
Teachers are good people but they don't win NBA Championships. In the words of Mark Jackson, come on Fred Roberts, you're better than that!

Teachers are ballers. And ballers become teachers. What more is there to say? Mark Acres and Fred Roberts are awesome!
Perfect picture of Roberts, Moncrief easily alluding him...
Btw check out fellow 6th grade teacher "Ms Hunt" on that website. Nice lol...
Roberts is about to pull a karate style block on the shot... and then go teach some Algebraic Fundamentals to a bunch of middle schoolers.
Did you go through every teacher's pic? Way too much time on your hands my friend. She does look like she could be from Jersey though. Maybe you know her? And yes, besides being ballers, many of us teachers are also hot (with the exception of Mr. Roberts and Mr. Acres... well maybe Roberts if he still had the flat-top. I kid I kid)
No actually she was the first one I looked at, I swear! But then I did go and check out the other ones just to be sure lmao- she's the best!!!
Hey! I work as a teacher too! :D
