Genetic studies in the late 20th century refuted the existence of biogenetically distinct races, and scholars now argue that âracesâ are cultural interventions reflecting specific attitudes and beliefs that were imposed on different populations in the wake of western European conquests beginning in the 15th century.
The one player, however, who stood out in my mind was Number 23, Eddie Shack. I enjoyed watching him skate. He skated with such exuberance. Edward Steven Phillip Shack was born in Sudbury, Ontario on February 11, 1937, the son of immigrants from Ukraine.
Kyrie Irving will wear No. 11 in Boston! (ð¸ @celtics/IG) pic.twitter.com/Gds3PCReIO â SB Nation NBA (@SBNationNBA) August 23, 2017. Irving wasnât going to be able to wear No. 2 with the Celtics as it is the retired number of legendary Celtics coach/general manager Red Auerbach. Irving wore No. 1 at Duke and No. 10 for Team USA, but both of those numbers are retired as well. So Kyrie will instead wear the still-available No. 11, which, apart from equaling two, is also the number he wore at St. Patrickâs High School. There havenât been a lot of notable Celtics to wear the No. 11 over the years.
