A graduate of Northfield Mount Hermon School, James "Jimmy" Ahern serves as managing partner and head of capital markets for New York's Laidlaw & Company. Beyond his professional pursuits with Laidlaw, James Ahern is an avid fan of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) Boston Celtics.
After losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2017 Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics improved its roster in the off-season by signing small forward Gordon Hayward to a four-year, $128 million contract. A native of Indiana, Hayward was one of the most highly sought-after free agents on the market, and for good reason. He averaged a career-high 21.9 points per game with the Utah Jazz last season and was named an All-Star for the first time in his career.
By joining the Celtics, Hayward is reunited with his former college coach Brad Stevens, who coached him at Butler University. A ninth overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, Hayward has improved his point totals in each of his seven seasons. In 516 career games, he has averaged 15.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game.
