About Sebastian Telfair
Sebastian Telfair is an American former professional basketball player. He has played in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the Chinese Basketball Association. Telfair was picked thirteenth overall in the 2004 NBA draft by the Portland Trail Blazers on the heels of an eminent high school career playing for Abraham Lincoln High. He had committed to the University of Louisville during his senior year, but decided to turn professional instead. Telfair is a cousin of former NBA player Stephon Marbury. On July 31, 2007, the Celtics traded Telfair, along with Al Jefferson, Gerald Green, Ryan Gomes, Theo Ratliff and two first-round draft picks, to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Kevin Garnett. Attending Lincoln High School in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, Telfair was the school's all-time leading scorer until Lance Stephenson broke his record in 2009. The Blazers ultimately lost 23 of their final 28 games that season, finishing with the team's worst record since 1973–74.
