Robert Malcolm Graham (born February 23, 1945) is an American former professional basketball player. He played two seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
A 6'1" guard from New York University, Graham won two NBA championships as a member of the Boston Celtics from 1967 to 1969. He scored 327 points in his career.
Graham's career was cut short by a medical condition in the final two seasons of the Celtics championship run of the 1950s and 1960s, ending his playing career in 1969, at the same time as teammate Bill Russell. After retiring from basketball, he became a jurist, working as a lawyer specializing in civil litigation, labor, and administrative law. In 1982 he was named a judge in the Massachusetts court system, and served in several capacities as a judge until his retirement in 2015.[1]
