Top Ten Boston Celtics of All-Time

Who are the all-time ten best players in Boston Celtics history? Is Bill Russell ranked higher than Larry Bird? How do current stars Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett rank among the Celtics all-time greats?

IMO KG shouldn't be as high as he is. He accomplished very little as a Celtic compared to Parish. KG and DJ could tie it at 9, but I would also take out DJ and put in Sam Jones.

 

KG does not belong

 

I was afraid to say this.

 

He needs to relax with that.

 

I always like seeing Russell first on these lists. He deserves it over the rest of the guys. I'm also in the no KG boat.

And I might move Pierce up higher. He may not have the rings, but he's arguably the best offensive player we've ever seen in green.

 

KG coud have been a great, but he came to the celtics past him prime. Not worthy of being in that list.

 

Stongly disagree. Pierce should not be in the top 10 either, just because his longevity with the team, but otherwise he's been just above average player. Never made boston a title contender before the other 2 arrived. Larry Bird was far far more talented.

 

Nope, that's spot on. You need to go back to Russia.

 

Pierce went deep in the playoffs just about every time he had a decent supporting cast. Went to the ECF with a bunch of scrubs, twice to the finals, a bunch of times to the second round. If he had McHale, Parish, DJ, Ainge, Walton, Reggie Lewis, etc. to play with his entire career maybe he could have matched Bird's accomplishments.

Pierce deserves to be higher on that list.
