I know the answer and a hint is that it is a pretty good Celtics PG

Oh no swede. The answer is NOT a Celtic nor is it a point guard.

Well here is what I found as an answer. Remember the question was first basketball player NOT first NBA player!
A statue of George Mikan taking his trademark hook shot was dedicated at the Target Center in Minneapolis during a Timberwolves-laker game. In a bit of trivia...He was the first basketball player to appear on the Wheaties "breakfast of champions" cereal box.

And currently you can catch Kevin Garnett, along with Peyton Manning, Albert Pujols and two others (a triathlete and a decathlon champ) on boxes of Wheaties Fuel. Really good tasting cereal with some brown sugar and cinnamon in it.
I know Wheaties won't pay me for this product plug either...
