TOM BARRY

Pete Barry was the older brother of longtime New York Original Celtics’ star, Pete Barry. While the senior Barry never reached the level of success of his younger sibling, he did enjoy a professional career that lasted for fifteen seasons. Barry was never a big scorer, but he was always a tough defender and savvy floor leader

PETE BARRY

Pete Barry was a member of the famed Original Celtics for over twenty years. Barry’s career spanned much of the squad’s history from its inception in 1914 as a New York Lower West Side settlement team through the twenties when it dominated the sport through the ragged barnstorming days of the Depression-era 1930s. Barry was often overshadowed by the Celtics more famous stars, but his hustle and a dogged defensive effort made him an important component in the team’s success. Always in motion, Barry was a fine passer who ably complimented his more flashy teammates.

MARTY BARRY

Marty Barry was a high school scoring star in Troy, New York. After graduation, Barry entered Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Albany to study law. While still in college, Barry embarked on a career in professional basketball. He attained immediate success. In his rookie season (1919-20) he finished third in scoring in the New York State Basketball League and led Troy to a first place finish in the second half of a split season. Barry followed up his outstanding first-year with two more top-five finishes in NYSL scoring the next two seasons. In the fall of 1922, Barry signed with the Rochester Centrals, a powerful barnstorming team. He remained with the team for the next ten seasons. In 1925, the Centrals joined the American Basketball League, where Barry quickly established himself among the league’s top offensive stars. As the decade ended, age and the growing demands of his law practice limited Barry’s role with the team.
