    Has to be Paul Pierce easily. I love how loyal he is to his team and respect any player like that.

    If your going the route of Clangus, its William Wallace, but sense this is a basketball forum and all, my favourite Celtic of all time has to be a tie between Kevin McChale and Larry Legend. The current Celtic would be Delonte West.

    Delonte West: He's such an underrated player and hard worker. He's got a real sweet jump shot, and it seems people have been taking him for granted.

    it's starting to even out between Ryan Gomes and Delonte West. I mean, how can anyone not like these guys. both are extremely hard workers, don't hurt the team, and do the dirty work. Plus, Delonte has a hell of a personality off the court.I mean, ultimately my favorite player is Pierce, but for some reason I like the role players just as much.

    Current: My favorite player in the NBA is Paul Pierce. He is everything. He is one of the top scorers in the league, he's efficient, he's clutch, he's unselfish, he's a great rebounder for his position, he shoots 3's, he gets to the line with the best of them, he can post up, he masters the mid-range game, he drives to the basket at all, underrated passer and ballhandler, very hard worker, true leader, born to win. I love everything about #34, and Shaq summed it up perfectly: "Paul Pierce is the muthaf*ckin truth!"

    Old School: It depends how old. As is recent former Celtics - Antoine Walker because of his all-around game, his heart, his passion, and his personality. But if you are talking OLD school, then I guess I would have to say Larry Bird. I mean I'm not going to get into it much because I have only seen a few old tapes, I wasn't living the "Bird era." But from what I have seen - he was phenominal.

    I like G-green's dunking and I really like Delonte Wests style of play, but my fav celtic has to be Paul Pierce. His work ethic and his playing style is great and he has become a great leader for the young celtics these past years.

    Mine would have to be Antoine Walker. Him and PP made the best duo in the league. I was happy when he came back to Boston but pissed when he was traded to Miami.

He grew up only 30 minutes away from where I live which is cool. Also I just love what he brought to the Celtics dynasty by bringing them 11 rings in 13 seasons.

    Current: Paul Pierce. How can this guy not be your favorite Celtic player? He's the best on the team, and has been there the longest. He's everything a Celtic player should be.Old School: Larry Bird. Leader, workhorse, sharpshooter, fighter, Larry did it all. Whatever he lacked in athletecism he made up for with skill and tenacity. Nobody else has ever walked into the locker room before the 3-point contest and said "Which one of you boys is going to finish second?" and then backed it up!
