  3. 1. Bill Russell. Lead Celtics to 11 championships. Maybe the greatest defender ever.

    2. Larry Bird. Flawless game. Good defender, but not elite. That's why he's not #1.

    3. Bob Cousy. Practically invented open court basketball. Most innovative point guard ever.

    4. John Havlicek. Greatest scorer in Celtics history. One of the best defenders of his time.

    5. Kevin Garnett. Only one season so far, but this based on anyone who's been with the Celtics. Amazing defender.

  4. 1. Bill Russell(how can you deny him of #1. He has 11 titles)

    2. Bird

    3. Cousy

    4. Garnett

    5.Parish

  5. 1. Larry

    2. Russell

    3. Garnett

    4. McHale

    5. Dennis Johnson

  6. Russell

    Bird

    Cousy

    Havlicek

    Cowens (because he won an MVP award as an undersized center)

    McHale

    Sam Jones

    Parrish

    Dennis Johnson

    Paul Pierce

    Jo Jo White

  7. 1. Bill Russell-Hands down w/out a doubt.....11 Rings!

    2.Larry Bird- but if you put Larry at 2 It should be w/McHale and the Chief Robert Parish. They were great but by playing together that's what made them legends. I don't Larry would have been the winner he was w/out them. He'd be the first person to tell you that.PLus McHale gets up there for making that KG trade happen. Guarantee he wouldn't have made that trade if he hadn't played for the Celts.

    3.Kevin Garnett-I don't think there have been too many guys to put on the green and play with the passion and intensity that he has played with.

    This is where it gets hairy.....

    4.Cousy

    5.Pierce

    4 and 5 are hard because there are so many players that can go there. JoJo White, Nate Archibald, Dennis Johnson, John Havlicek, Cedric Maxwell, K.C. Jones, and everyones boy Big Bad Tommy H. The Celts are a franchise that have been blessed with so much talent and that has gotten them the 17 banners. You also have talent that died young like Lewis and Byars.

    Honorable Mentions do go to Marty Conlon, Brett Szabo, Ed Pinckney, A.C. Earl, and the one the only Allah Abdul-Nabi.
