At a community event to honor the perfect attendance and academic improvement of local students, Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk made a revelation about his own attendance record in college.

According to MassLive’s Jay King, Olynyk said he never skipped a class as an undergraudate. Not a single one.

The 7-foot center spent four years at Gonzaga, where he graduated with a 3.53 GPA and a Bachelor’s degree in accounting.

Olynyk also participated in some amusing carnival games at the celebration, which was hosted by the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation on Thursday.
