Frank Ramsey of the Boston Celtics was one of the most famous sixth men. He played nine seasons from 1954 to 1964 and appeared in 623 games, but he didn’t usually play the game as a starter. His coach, Red Auerbach, trusted him and used him as a secret weapon. When a reporter asked Ramsey ⓐ (he / whether / to go / wanted / to another team) and be a starter, he said no. He said he was happy to sit on the bench as long as it helped his team win a championship. In fact, the Celtics won seven championships with him during that time. Ramsey accepted his role as the sixth man and showed how important that role was in basketball.
