Last week’s winner was reader Doug, who was first to correctly answer that The Bernucca List was active coaches who have lost their only trips to the NBA Finals.
The list was actually one coach longer at the start of the season, but Paul Westphal (1993 with Phoenix) was fired by Sacramento.
This week’s edition is below. See if you can correctly identify the list with all of its parameters. First correct answer gets a mention in next week’s list. You can submit your answer as a comment or send me a Tweet.

| Nate Archibald |
| Dave Bing |
| Pete Maravich |
| Bob McAdoo |

They’re all players who once led the league in scoring for a season and then had their worst scoring year playing for the Celtics?
They’re all players who once led the league in scoring for a season and then later played for the Celtics
WE HAVE A WINNER!
Dashiell, sorry for the late response/acknowledgement. Was very busy during the day. Your answer is correct – scoring champions who played for the Celtics – who never have had a scoring champion, by the way.
FYI, Dave Bing won scoring title when league counted most points, not highest average, as winner.
They all had their worst scoring averages on the Celtics?
Everyone on the right track with Celts but need another very specific parameter.
finished career with Celtics?
All are retired players who are in the Hall of Fame or on the 50 Greatest Players list who played for the Celtics but played more seasons with at least one other team
They all played for the Celtics for only 1 year?
