Chaney was the 12th overall pick from the University of Houston where as a rookie he was part of the Celtics’ 1969 Championship win, the last of the 60’s dynasty. The Guard would star on the defensive side of the ball, being named a Second Team All-Defensive Selection four times as a Celtic and would have four years of 10 plus Points per Game. Chaney was with Boston for most of his career, save for a one-year stint in the ABA with St. Louis and a year and change later with the Los Angeles Lakers and he holds the distinction of being the only Celtic who at one time played with Bill Russell and Larry Bird.
